I was just wondering if anyone else gets a brown discharge about one week before your period starts. Before I was on birth control, this happened, when I was on b/c it didn't happen, and now that I'm off again (trying to conceive), it has started back up. It is enough discharge that I have to wear a pantyliner. Now that I'm TTC, I don't know if I should count this day as the first day of my period or when I actually start bleeding. I also have at least one or two days when I'm on my period that it is very heavy, blood clots and all. I can fill up a tampon on those days in 30 to 45 minutes. Again, this stopped when I was on b/c, as my period was very light. Does anyone know what's going on or which day I should consider my first day of period?
