    What the is going on??? Brown Discharge for 6 days but period a week away!

    I have no idea what is going on!

    For the last 6 days i have been getting brown discharge. Its quite a lot now - soaks a panty liner.

    Its not my period. Its not red. Althoug yesterday has a redish tint to it. But brown and slightly black.

    I have only seen 1 red dot of blood.

    I am on the pill. This started on the 21st and period isn't due until the 2nd Nov.

    I missed one pill i think, but didn't think this could happen for this long!!

    Its comes out rather a lot now. Yesterday i was sitting down and felt it and my underwear was soaked right through.

    I have had NO cramps. Nothing.

    I have made an appointment with my doctor but really getting concerned. I have never had this before - ever, in 10 years of periods. I have been on the pill for over 6 months and haven't had ANY problems with it at all.......

    any information any one has would be great.

    thanks.

    I wouldn't worry at ALL, but it's good that you're getting an appointment just in case.

    I dunno, sometimes I have that brown discharge stuff as well, sometimes I don't. It's just old blood.

      I have a discharge similar to this, it's spotting. I have low progesterone, and this is breakthrough bleeding because my body doesn't know to hold the lining in. If you missed a bc pill, that is probably breakthrough bleeding.

        Oh okay thanks.

        I didn't think that could last for 7 days tho???

        This is probably to much information but it was dripping out. So odd. I have to go to the docs so may as well ask what could be going on.

        I haven't been under any stress, no more than usual and its never that much.... just very very odd.

        I've missed a bc pill before and never had this.
