What Causes Brownish Discharge And Abdominal Cramps During Menstruation?

Hi. I am on birth control tablets and skipped my period last month. I am due to start my period on Monday but yesterday started getting brown discharge. And I have stomach cramps and discomfort in my vagina. This has been happening regularly when I skip my period or sometimes just in general. I have been tested for STDs and all the tests came back negative

Hi,
Welcome To HCM & Thanks For Asking Your Query Here

it is common for some women to experience these symptoms before menstruation start specially when u have skipped ur previous period and on birth control but if you are experiencing other symptoms such as mood swings, tender breasts, food cravings, fatigue, irritability and depression than it may be related to premenstrual syndrome
however it is not a serious issue and will over come after menstrual period

i would strongly suggest you to see Your Gynecologist for further evaluation of condition

I hope it help
Thanks & Get well Soon
