Brown Discharge, Light Periods, Headaches, Bloating. Pregnant?
Hello,
Maybe you can help me. My last period ended on Aug. 14th, and my next period was due on Sept. 11th. (This is how my normal cycle always goes). About Aug. 26-28 I thought I was getting my period again, but it was pretty light. Then I read that that could happen during ovulation, so I disregarded it. Sept. 11th came and I did not get my period. A week or so went by and I got that really light bleeding again. Now I keep having brown discharge, bad headaches and a lot of bloating. I am sexual active with one partner (of 4 years), but we always use a condom. I am not on birth control pills, though. I plan on taking a pregnancy test, but does this seem like I could even be pregnant?

Hi...
Thanks for the query...
Considering your previous menstrual history, we have to rule out pregnancy..
But brown discharge goes against that...
You can do a home pregnancy test to rule out pregnancy(due to failure of condom) and then depending on requirement you can get an ultrasound scan done..
Once the pregnancy is ruled out you can take treatment for making your periods regular...
Hope this information helps you... Take care...
