Period?
Hello.
I had my period which started off with brown discharge. Eventually it turned into a more natural color, but lasted about two weeks. Well a little over a week late I had more brown discharge lasting more than a couple of days. I am a 22 year old female and I'm wondering if I should see my doctor or if I should just wait it out?

I did go to the doctor and they check my hormone level, my thyroid, and made sure I wasn't pregnant or suffering from a pregnancy loss. They could not find anything and they went ahead and did an ultrasound, but everything looked normal. So about a month after I went to see them it stopped and I started on BC pills to get everything on track. Sorry it took so long to get back to you.
