Brown discharge BEFORE period

There have been a lot of questions about this but I want to find out what brown discharge before a period means for me.
I am 21, NOT sexually active - in fact, I've never had sex. I took pills awhile back to control my acne breakout but stopped after 3-4 months of use.(I became really moody) The last time i took them was about less than 2 years ago. Then around November last year, I noticed brown discharge before my period and it has continued ever since. There's no odor. The discharge is kind of milky brown.
Forums I've read say it may be implantation bleeding but I don't think it is in my case. I'm kind of hesitant to visit a doctor because I heard that they may insert some device up my vagina to check out the uterus. (They say it's painful) Any idea as to what is causing this? Thank you.

It is also a way for your body to clean out some times it happens after you period to finish cleaning out it is the same thing with the start of your period if you are not yet sexually active then it is not implation bleeding i would say if your really worried about talk to your doctor

I really don't think there is anything for you to be worried about?
I've had experience with a brown discharge before my periods and I've never experienced a problem.

I just considered it a warning sign that the flood is on the way!
