I am a 40 year old mother of two young girls(ages 4 and 5) and I am worried about things that have been going on with my body since I had my tubes tied. All day today I have been experiencing really sharp pains that feel like they are right in my vagina. The pain only lasts a few seconds, but it is so painful that I am afraid to move. If that was not enough I noticed there was a brown discharge in my pantyliner?! The pain went away, but the discharge took its place. What can this be?! Am I spotting? I had my period about a week in a half ago, so I need answers please....what is going on with my body?
