Hello,
Your symptoms are not related to miscarriage.
Light bleeding early in pregnancy is fairly common and does not mean you will have a miscarriage.
Brown discharge may look like coffee grounds.
This “discharge” is actually old blood that has been in the uterus for a while and is just coming out slowly.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. Dorina Gurabardhi, General & Family Physician
