dark brown discharge ??? !!! ??? !!! !!! ???

[z0mbiie]

I have been discharging a dark brown for the past few days, i have no cramping or pain. My period is extremely irregeular so i never know when im going to get it, BUT i know! that this isnt my period for a fact, i know what period are like and this isnt it. I did see a post with a woman with the same problem, i had sex for the first time in months about 4 weeks ago, it only happened twice, but about two weeks after i got a yeast infection after having my period, and now i got rid of the infection about a week n 1/2 ago almost and now i have this problem with the darkbrown discharge i have no health insurance and am begininng to get really scared, if some has any insight as to what this problem is please help me, thank you :(

honey dont worry. its most likely just dried blood. you're probably going to start you period shortly. i used to have that issue for about 3 days before and after my periods. question: are you on birth control? if so, have you changed it recently? it probably does have something to do with the fact that you had a yeast infection for so long then finally treated it. our bodies have so many ways of healing itself. i wouldn't worry about it. just act as if you're about to start your period. if it lasts more than a week, visit your local planned parenthood. they'll be happy to take a look and make sure things are o.k. i say this because i went 2 weeks with the brown discharge and no period before i finally set up an appointment with pp and had them do a pap smear on me. come to find out, i had a bacterial infection and had left it untreated for about 2 years. just be patient. the only reason it would be unusual for you to have that discharge is if it lasts longer than a week. good luck hun!

Are you sure its not very dark blood? I'm not a woman but I know all sorts of crazy things can happen down there. Without insurance you could try going to a free clinic somewhere or even Planned Parenthood might be able to help you. It's best to get this looked at while its happening so the docs are more apt to diagnose it.

Not being a woman I can't give you any real advice on it other than to get it checked out but it doesnt sound too serious. Probably residual infection or some such. Best to be sure though and have it checked out.
