What Causes Brown Discharge In Periods?

hi i tested positive on a hpt on 7/17/10 and on 7/29/10 i went to see my doctor and told her that i have been spotting off and on but very light brownish discharge....so my doctor said she wanted to check my pregnanciy in numbers and if my test result is high enough they will order a ultrasound, but if it is low then that would mean that im in the process of a miscarriage well my results came back high enough for a ultrasound and i have a appt. 8/9/10 for an ultrasound....my question is how come i still have brownish color discharge....its not enough to fill the pad and im very worried is this ok?

Hello dear,
I understand your concern.
In my opinion the brownish spotting can be due to various reasons like hormonal abnormalities like thyroid abnormalities, progesterone insufficiency,abnormal pregnancy like miscarriage,bleeding from cervix,low lying placenta etc.If the ultrasound is normal nothing to worry.
It is good that your HCG numbers are high.
The bleeding can be attributed to cervix.Avoid physical stress,intercourse.
Take good rest.Also rule out thyroid abnormalities by doing thyroid profile.
It will subside with apt treatment.So avoid stress and relax.

Best regards...Dr.Srilatha
