What Could Brown Discharge With Delayed Periods While Being On IUD Suggest?

I have had the paragard iud for almost 3 years. I am about 5 days late getting my period. I have gotten my period like clockwork every month. I have had some brown discharge when wiping. I took a hpt and it was negative. What do you think could be going on?

Hello,

5 days delay in getting period is nothing to be worried about. Brown discharge is indicative of old blood, which can occur pre-menstrually. You will likely get your period soon.

Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Lekshmi Rita Venugopal, General & Family Physician
