? asked in Pregnancy & ParentingPregnancy · 5 years ago

I keep discharging light brown days before my period, should I be worried?

I went on Web MD and I guess that was a bad idea.

I thought maybe it's my fertilized egg being implanted in my uterus. But I took a pregnancy test and I'm thankfully not pregnant. Two weeks ago I was suppose to get an IUD but after a lot of pain and failed attempts they weren't able to put it in. My due date for my period is March 24/5th, but I keep getting a faint brown since two days ago. What else could be the explanation?

It can't be pregnancy because my ovulation cycle is from the 8th to the 12th and I didn't have sex between the 5th and the 14th...

HELP I'M TERRIFIED!

    When did you have sex? Ovulation is very tricky. Sperm can live inside you for up to 5 days, so even if you didn't have sex during your ovulation time but did have sex before then you might be pregnant, but it would be unlikely if you two used a condom. You won't have a positive test until a few days after your missed period so don't rule that out yet.

    By the way you're most fertile 2 weeks before and 2 weeks after your period. (14 days).

    Most women don't know for sure when they ovulate. So it's possible that you did have sex while ovulating. The brown discharge that you're seeing could be implantation bleeding. You also may have taken the pregnancy test too early. Wait until you miss your period to take a test.

    Probably cancer.
