    Can I be pregnant and not know?
    I had my period on the 4th of march an it lasted 5 days, which is normal for me.. I usually get my period the first week of every month but this time it came early on the 28th of march lasting only 3 days.. I also av brown discharge! Is this normal?? I don't take any contriception as myself an my partner av been trying for a baby for 2 year now, we already av a child aged 5. I am 24.

    Brown discharge after a period is normal, its just your vagina cleaning itself out. It sounds like your cycle is pretty much normal and your just having an off month, I don't think any of my periods ever came on the exact day nor did any of them last the same amount of time, but we're all different, so just keep an eye on your next period, usually if you miss it or its very light its usually a sign of pregnancy.

    How long do you suspect you have been pregnant for?

    It is possible to be pregnant and not realise, there are women who have ended up in labour and still not known they are having a child... (there are TV shows about it) because they didn't gain weight or stop periods or anything.

    However, you do suspect, so therefore you have realised. The only way you could confirm anything at this stage is a home pregnancy test kit or a visit to the doctors.

    Shorter and lighter periods are an early sign of pregnancy. The discharge could just be part of the end of your period.

    As I said, get an HPTK or see the doctor and get back to us :)
