What Does Brown Discharge On Tissue Mean?

Hi, I am on my second round of IVF. I am due to do the pregnancy test on 20/10, but on my normal cycle my period would have been due today/ tomorrow. Today when wiping after going to the toilet I found that there was some brown discharge on the tissue. What does this mean?

Hi, I have gone through your question. The brown discharge you are having can be due to either due to periods or implantation bleeding of pregnancy. I suggest you to get your urine pregnancy test done if your proper periods do not come.
If the test is positive, then you should get an ultrasound done to rule out any ectopic pregnancy, which also causes brown spotting.
Hope you found the answer helpful.
Wishing you good health.
