What Causes Brown Vaginal Discharge While HPT Is Negative?
I had unprotected sex on 9/16. Last time I had my period was in August I am currently not on the pill and haven t been since July. My periods without being on the pill are normally irregular meaning I don t get them every month. Thursday 9/24 I started dark brown discharge which lasted until Saturday and then Saturday night blood came out then Sunday through today I have been having little dark brown discharge I ve taken three pregnancy tests and they are all negative could I get dark brown discharge on my period or could it be a sign or pregnancy
Hi, Thanks for posting in HCM. I understand your concern. Dark brown vaginal discharge what you are experiencing might not be due to pregnancy as your pregnancy tests have come negative. It could be due to various other causes like cervivitis, pelvic inflammatory disease, yeast infection, endometrial bleeding and uterine polyp, which needs to be investigated. Particularly in your case, the cause needs to be known and treated since you are suggesting that your periods are irregular. Kindly consult Gynecologist in this regard for clinical and per speculum examination. Also to confirm the cause, you might be advised to get an ultrasound of abdomen and pelvis done. Accordingly, treatment can be instituted. Hope the information provided would be helpful. All the best.
