Hi, I was wondering is its normal to just be discharging brown stuff for two months in a row instead of regular red blood. Is that normal? Or am I pregnant?

omg seriously???  if you don't already know you can't get pregnant by dry humping and no penetration and he didn't *** in you, i don't think you are ready to be doing what you two have been doing.  EDUCATE yourself before fooling around and no matter what GO ON BIRTH CONTROL immediately, you won't regret doing so, it will eliminate any bad cramps during your periods and will keep your periods regular every month, there are almost zero disadvantages to going on the pill at your age.  trust me.

If I had unprotected sex in February and the *** got inside of me,  my period comes the day after,  I miss a month, my period comes back on on April on the day it's suppose to. I'm worried I may be pregnant.  Am I?

Hi I'm 16 years old. In october I had unprotected sex for the first time, It only went on for about 5 minutes because I didn't want to risk the chance of getting pregnant, so we stopped. And I asked him if he cummed inside me, and he said he didn't. But..Ever since I've had unprotected sex, My periods have been really weird. And recently before my periods I'm having this thick brown discharge or something coming out of my vagina. I was really worried, But people say it's old blood, or I'm stressed. My periods have only lasted about 3 days and weren't as heavy as they usually are. They were actually pretty light. I don't know if this means I'm pregnant, Or if my cycle is messed up because of stress. I took 3 pregnancy tests. I took one a month after I had unprotected sex, and two in January. They all came out negative. So I don't know if this is normal. Does someone have any idea what's going on? Please help..I'm really worried :l
Thanks.

Hi, to all the children having unprotected sex, think about this, vaginal discharge could mean ANYTHING! You are children, stop having sex, and if you continue, at least be smart about it, and I don't mean just being on birth control. Protect yourself!! Respect yourself!! A baby is the nest thing that could happen when you have sex compared to all the diseases out there!! Typically brown discharge after your period is just old blood mixed with normal vaginal discharge, but if you are having sex, and using no form of protection, you probably shouldn't be on the internet trying to diagnose yourself, you should be calling a doctor to get checked out. Hope this gets through to at leather one teen!

Hi I am a 27 yr old mother of 4.I just recently had a baby and my first menstral cycle was fine, but my second menstral cycle after the birth of my child and after i began to have sexual intercoarse it came with a brown discharge. Now I do not have an odor or anything like that. I dont have any problems using the restroom. (no pain or dysfunctional color) but I am not sure if the 1 person that I have been sexually active with is being honest about me being the only one. Should I go to the doctor anyway? Please give me some kind of feed back....

It looks like maybe you shouldn't be having sex at all. Your 16 with a 5 month old so you know how you got there. Use your head!!! You shouldn't be having sex anyway. The only way to prevent this from happining again is to STOP having sex.
