What Causes Dark Vaginal Discharge Prior To Onset Of Menstruation?

I noticed that i have thick brown discharge about 5 days before my period. i have been on the birth control pill for 3 years and take it every single day. i do have sex with my boyfriend alot, but he never ejaculates inside me. im really worried this is implantation bleeding. i took a pregnancy test an hour ago and it was negative. should i stop worrying since it was negative or do you think i am pregnant?

hi.

the brownish vaginal discharge prior to the onset of menstruation is normal. since you are sexually active, it is best if you have a regular consult with an OB-gyn and annual pap smear examination.

hope this helps.

good day!!
