hi i was just wondering if its normal to have brown discharge the first day you are due to start your period?

Yes, it's just old blood and it's normal to have a brown discharge after your period too.

I'm new here and I wanted to comment on having brown discharge as well.   Last month my period was a week late and this month it was on schedule. However it's been two weeks since the end of my period and now I'm seeing brown stringy vaginal discharge, which for me is strange because that's never happened to me two weeks after any period. I read online that it happens during ovulation but it's never happened to me. I usually get white mucous like vaginal discharge during my ovulation so i'm a bit alarmed about this one. Now not sure if this has anything to do with the other but I ate a lot of this high fiber and omega 3 pasta and I had to make a run for the bathroom the next morning. After that I noticed this brown discharge so  I'm wondering if what I ate had any affect on this. I'm just a little concerned. I don't seem to have any pains however I keep seeing this discharge on and off throughout the day. It's day two of it so if any one can help shed some light - that would help me.  I also want to add that I am  sexually active but haven't been in 3 months and I don't use birth control. I went to the gyno in late August and my results were all clean so I'm good health.  I think my period was late last month due to lots of stress in my personal life. Hope someone can help me out.
