Brown discharge for 5 days after my period. Confused :(


Okay so to start I haven't been on any kind of birth control since I had my 2nd child two years ago. I'm 20. I have a pretty regular cycle, me and my (hubby if u will) don't use condoms, it's the pull out method, last month I had a little bit of a close call (we aren't ttc) and I waited for my period to come. I expected it on the 25-26 of April, it started on the 24 (usually last 3-4 days and done completely by the 5th) on day three I woke up with nothing on my tampon execpt Brown and only a little, so I put one in since it's the end of my period just in case I had more brown spotting, next thing I know a few hours later, it's full. I'm like what the hell and I put another one in. I left it in until it had been in long enough that I had to take it out... CLEAN as a whistle. This is at bedtime now: I had sex with my bf that night. Then again that morning I walked by the bathroom and he was cleaning himself and I'm like "what is it blood?" He said yeah a little bit. I'm like wtf, ever since that, I've had brown disharge in my panties and for a day or two after all that when I wiped it would be alot of brown discharge and seemed to have flakes in it... This lasted up to well yesterday, so for 5 days after my period was done with, I've had brown spotting and discharge.. I know at the end of ur period it's old blood because it's normal for me to get that at the end of my period but for it to quit so suddenly then be right back on blast and then turn and and quit again , and have 5 DAYS of it, is not normal FOR ME anyway . I was just wondering if anyone else has had this, what it may be? Since my period started, I assumed my close call didn't result in pregnancy . I don't really FEEL pregnant or anything. But I'm worried I'm also worried about health issues as I had a c section with my first child (at 16 close to 17 or just turned 17) and with my second child (at 18) .. also I've noticed how I have to pee so much here latley it will just hit me like damn I need to pee NOW and it's almost IMPOSSIBLE to hold in. That's something that's has stood out to me latley. It doesn't hurt to pee, not like I have a unrinary tract infection, it's just sudden or if I don't go when I feel the urge to it very quickly becomes almost impossible to hold in. I've been on Google for two days and nothing I can find is similar to my situation so I really need a reply on here. I super appreciate it!

Brown discharge is old blood and is often what happens as our hormones shift.  Guessing this is the case for you.  I would not panic.  If you think pregnancy is a possibility, even remote, take an at home pregnancy test to rule it out.   good luck
