What Causes Brown Discharge In Periods?
Hi I m 5 months postpartum and I have had a first regular period however this month my period was a week late and last night I saw blood which was normal red colour but it was only a small amount so I thought it was the start of my period however I have just woken up middle of the night to find out it has now turned dark brown and clotting I m so frigtened it could be an ectopic as I had one before but I am certain I am not pregnant please advise

Hello, it can be your regular period as you are lactating but still do a urine pregnancy test and see for results.
