Hello... I am 24yrs old and very confused about my supposed last period (if it really was a period). About a week before my period was due I experienced what I take as spotting for around 2 days if that. I thought nothing of it just that it was weird. When I did get my period or what I thing was my period it only lasted for 2 1/2 days... and only enough to use the equivilence of a tampon a day!! This in not normal for me its normally 5 to 6 days with heavy flow until the last 2 days. I took a hpt and it came out negative. So no big deal. But its is now 4 days after my period and I am having brown discharge. I am confused on what is going on. I have been on the patch for 1 1/2 yrs and this has never happened before. Me and my hubby are wonder if we need to be concerned or possible pregnant with our 2 child. Ps... didn't experience any of this with our first.

Brown discharge can be old blood. And it is normal (according to my dr.) it happens to me every month.

I would say that your periods are just changing. Mine use to be heavy for a full 7 days. Now, they are heavy for the first 3 days (heaviest on the third day) and then almost nothing for 4 days.

When was your last check up? If you are worried, contact your doctor.

My last checkup (pap) was last april/may. But wanted some advice before I went into the dr again to find out its nothing. My period only lasted 2 almost 3 days with no heavy bleeding just spotting I guess you could say. Plus the spotting between periods is a little unnerving. But will try and make an apt soon
