    Brown spotting

    Hi ladies,

    I was hoping you could provide some advice to a newbie. My period was due last Thursday, and first thing in the morning I woke up, wiped myself and there was blood. I was gutted. At lunch time I changed my tampon and there was no blood, just brown type discharge. I haven't worn a tampon since but the brown spotting has continue in small amounts.

    I've done a couple of pregancy tests but they are all negative.

    Has anyone experienced this when TTC? Over the past year my period has dwindled down to 3 days and my period is very light. A little worried that my period has stopped completley.


    Thanks for the advice

    Hi and welcome

    Maybe go to your dr and ask for a blood test....when i fell pregnant in january I had brown discharge when AF was due and then nothing I did a HPT on CD30 and it came back positive where I think I did one earlier and it was negative

    Hope you get some answers soon

    you could quite possibly be pregnant and this is just implantation bleeding and your hormone levels just arent strong enough yet to record a BFP. wait a couple of days and try again.

    I'm afraid I ended up getting my period on day 32. I went to the doctors and she thinks I had a chemical miscarriage / failed pregnancy.

    We'll just keep trying!
