Hi
Brownish discharge before the onset of period or during ovulation is normal. This could be dried blood or blood from previous cycles. You can wait for few more days for your cycles to start.
Any history of smelly or excess vaginal discharge should be noted to rule out vaginal infections. Vaginal infections can also cause brownish discharge and antibiotics may be required.
Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
