What Causes Delayed Period And Brown Vaginal Discharge?
Hi, it s 3 days until I m due for my period. Yesterday morning, I woke up with brownish discharge in my panties. It wasn t a lot, just enough to get on them. It was stretchy, later last night it turned creamy & a slightly lighter brown. The discharge stopped through out the day, today. But has started back up, early tonight. I m also passing quite a bit of gas. I am actively trying to get pregnant, with my partner. Asking for advice.

Hi,
Brown vaginal discharge can have various causes and can occur at any point in a woman's menstrual cycle. It can be caused by implantation bleeding, which can occur when a fertilized egg implants itself in the lining of the uterus, or it can be due to hormonal changes.
Delayed periods can also be due to various reasons such as stress, hormonal imbalances, thyroid disorders, weight changes, medications, and pregnancy.
In your case, the brown discharge could be a sign of implantation bleeding, which is a common sign of pregnancy. It is recommended to wait a few days and take a home pregnancy test to confirm if you are pregnant. It is also recommended to see a healthcare provider if the discharge continues or if you experience any other symptoms such as pain, fever, or foul-smelling discharge. Your healthcare provider can help determine the underlying cause and recommend the appropriate treatment.
Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
