Hi! I Had A Brown Discharge For Around 4 Days
Question: Hi! I had a brown discharge for around 4 days and its 4 days before my period start. Is it my normal period or pregnancy sign?
I took a plan B around 3 weeks ago during my ovulation week. I have also been drinking parsley water and been losing lots of weight. I just want to confirm what its the brown discharge is
Brief Answer:
Please see the detailed answer below
Detailed Answer:
Hello,
I understand your concern.
Spotting before a period can be a normal part of the menstrual cycle. The spotting discharge may be pink, red or brown and in some women, it happens regularly while in some others only sometimes. Also, it is very unlikely for spotting to be a pregnancy sign.
Sometimes, spotting before a period can be a sign of hormone level fluctuation or low progesterone levels and if it becomes a regular occurrence before every period in the next few months, I recommend you discuss this with your doctor.
I hope this answers your question.
Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care
