What Does Brown Vaginal Discharge With Tender Breasts Indicate?

Hi, I had my period, well what I thought was my period last week it only last 3 days, and it usually lasts at least 5 sometimes 6, prior to this I had my period 2 weeks earlier, today I ve realised that I have a brown discharge, only light, my breasts are tender and I have bloating and lower back pain, is there any chance this could mean I m pregnant?

Hello,
Thank you for posting your question to HCM.

You are saying that you had your period. Even if it lasted few days that normal, it still was very like a period.
From what you are describing, I don't think you may be pregnant. The discharge that a woman has when she is pregnant, is not much like a period, but its just brown spots.
From what I'm understanding look like you are having a menstrual change in its cycle, and this happens in cases of stress, diets, extreme physical activity of tiredness, ect. I would not be worried about it..in the worse case scenario this may need couple of months until it turns back to its normality. ...If I does continue more then 3 months, than seek a gynecologist advise, and consider doing an abdominal ultrasound.
... If your menstrual cycle delays more then 1 week, then a urine pregnancy test would confirm or rule out pregnancy, but I don't think this is your case.

Hope this is helpful.
Let me know if I can help you with any other question.

Regards,
Dr. Papaqako
