Hello dear,I understand your concern.In my opinion there might be vaginal infection leading to altered discharge. The brown spotting might be cervical bleeding admixed with vaginal discharge.So i suggest you to consult doctor and get examination done to rule out vaginal infection and get treatment accordingly.And if the brown discharge or spotting recurs then the causes for it like any thyroid hormone abnormalities or progesterone insufficiency or cervical bleeding or any low lying placenta needs to be evaluated.Avoid stress, physical strain and intercourse.Take adequate rest and fluids upto 3 litres.
