    Brown discharge with no period
    I am have experienced 12 days of dark brown discharge around the time my period should be and now nothing, no period and no more discharge. Do I consider the brown discharge as my period? It was really light and sort of mucous like. It was so dark brown it was almost black. My husband and I are trying to conceive and I have been off birth control since July. My first cycle off birth control was normal. However, since then I am averaging 45 day cycles and if the discharge this time does not count as a period then I am on day 52 of this cycle. I have made an appt with my gyn but the earliest appt is in April .Please help I am not sure what is going on.

    That usually happens when the period is on its way and there are some blood particles lingering around the area and it turns brown over time because it is being exposed to oxygen. For example, If you cut your finger and you band-aid it and keep that band-aid on for a few days, the blood on the band-aid doesn't stay red, instead it turns into a brown color. But seeing the gyn is a good idea... Anyways, It's normal! I hope that gives you a peace of mind until April. It's nothing big to worry about... You'll be fine!
