Brown Discharge

So I haven't had sex in about 3 weeks. I am 16 years old and I'm not suppose to get my period for another week or two. But all of a sudden the other day I found brown discharge in my underwear. What exactly could it be from? It cant be from my period because I haven't gotten it yet.

I have had sex with my boyfriend several times and he pulls out and I take birth control but one time he didn't pull out in time and it was around the time I was fertile ,well according to my period app. And I still have another week before my period but I have brown discharge spotting for three days but it only happened once each day. My sister says I may be pregnant but I don't know what to think. Can anyone help ?

It is normal to have brown discharge it is old blood, I am currently taking the pill and have been for about a year and I've had brown discharge twice its normal. Yeah it may still give you pain and feel slightly different but you don't have and infection, and if you are constantly taking b tablets then it's unlikely you are. It is just old blood that your vagina cleans itself out every month or so

Okay, I'm only 15 and last summer my then boyfriend convinced me to have sex with him.  Last December he talked me into doing it again.  He also convinced me to not wear a condom.  He said that he'll take it out before anything happens but something happened.  He had his mom get me plan b pills and I took them.  And I recently noticed this brown discharge.  I'm not sure if I've been on my period since then I haven't been keeping track and this brown discharge took me by surprise I thought it might be an infection or something but then I hear it might be because of pregnancy too.  I'm scared that the plan b pills didn't work.  I really need help.

Did you use protection when you had sex? It could just be your period coming on early. Brown means old blood, and most of the time I get that when I start my period. Your only 16, periods change month to month. BUT, if you didn't use protection, you could be pregnant. If you miss your period, you might want to test.
