What Causes Brownish Discharge During Menstruation?

Hi I ve been getting a light brown/brown discharge instead of my period. It s three days late. On the first day I got a pink discharge and thought I was beginning my period but it was not normal for such light blood (usually I get a dark red colored blood). On the second day, I wiped and noticed some red blood but it returned to light pink and brown discharge. On the third day, it s been brown all day and when I wiped, there was a thin strand of blood. I am 17.

Hi, I have gone through your question and understand your concerns. Scanty flow or brown spotting during the menstruation can be due to pregnancy or hormonal disturbances like hypothyroidism. I would suggest you to get a urine pregnancy test done, if negative, then do consult an OBGYN specialist to get properly examined, investigated including hormonal profile and treated accordingly.
Hope you found the answer helpful.
Wishing you good health.
