What Does Dark Brown/black Clumpy Discharge Indicates?

I m 18 years old and freaking out. At first I had this odd smelling light brown discharge, it didn t cause cramps and there was A LOT of it. Like, more than my usual period. Now, one week later, I m having dark brown/ black clumpy, what I m assuming, discharge. I ve read everywhere and they all associate brown discharge with implantation bleeding, but I have had no other signs of early pregnancy. I m worried I may be pregnant, but I m pretty sure I m not. I m on the pill and last I had sex was two weeks prior to the weird discharge.

Hello,

Brown discharge is indicative of old blood. It can be seen during the premenstrual period. If you do not get your period as expected, then do a home pregnancy test. It would be ideal to wait at least a week after a missed period to do the pregnancy test to void false negative.

Hope this answers your question
Please let me know if you need further clarification
