    What could this mean other than pregnancy?
    Hi everyone, okay so since the day before yesterday I've been having a little bit of a brown discharge. Now what could this mean other than implantation bleeding? The thing is that me and my boyfriend have not used any protection in the past two years and nothing has happened so I find this a little weird, I kind of thought we had sort of an infertility problem. I don't want to jump to any conclusions though so I want to see if maybe it could be something else. Also, I'm about a month late. I'll be taking a pregnancy test sometime this month if my period doesn't come soon. Thanks in advance :)

    Brown discharge is usually old blood. It could be a sign that your period is starting. It happens quite often actually, and is not necessarily a sign that you're pregnant.

    Implantation bleeding is not as common as people think.

    The only way to know if you're pregnant or not is to take a pregnancy test. At one month late it's definitely not too soon.

    Make sure to use first morning urine, it's more concentrated and therefore more accurate.

    Good luck.
