Hey.
This is kind of embarrassing but basically I have been having brown discharge for about a year now but it is on and off, it does smell sometimes. I was getting it before I was sexually active and I have never had sex unprotected and I know for definite the condom has never split. I am not on the pill either. Im way too embarrassed to talk to my mum about it as my boyfreind is older then 16 and I am a little younger (15 & pleasee don't judge because of the ages). My mum doesn't know we are having sex and there is no way I could tell her. Pleasee help mee I'm confused :confused:

Carly,

Brown discharge is typically "old blood" which can be common in some women. Most likely, its nothing to worry about.

I'm not judging you, but I do want to caution you to talk with mum... or stop having sex until you're older. My thinking is, if you're old enough for sex, you're old enough to tell an adult who can help you. The main reason I say this is because you need a more serious form of birth control (like the pill) and you should speak with a doctor about your discharge... just to make sure all is okay.. and you can have a chance to ask questions.

Good luck to you
