What Could Be The Light Brown Discharge When I Am Not In Period Cycle?
I have not been on contraception for 6 years and have been trying for a baby. I have been told I have unexplained infertility. My cycles are usually 24 or 25 days and i was expecting my period yesterday or today. I have had bouts of light brown discharge since yesterday (once in the afternoon yesterday and once this morning) however I have not started my period. What could this be?

Hi,
Brownish discharge could be a sign of vigorous sex (if you are sexually active), ovulation, a sign of impending periods forthcoming. You can wait for a week to watch your cycle or can do serum beta hCG test which is more reliable than HPT to rule out pregnancy.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
