This question is strictly for women... Or girls... Please help. READ DESCRIPTION!

ok. I have been told that brown discharge is your period or means you are about to have your period. I had this discharge for about a week ad now it's gone. I haven't have it in a couple of days and it came out stringy or mushy dark brown. sorry if it sounds gross but was that my period? I also read that it is kinda like a sustitute period... it's brown because it was supposed to be my period but it was late. I am kinda worried. I know I might wanna check with a doctor but look past that what does my brown discharge or brown colored period mean?

Relax Derpina, its okay (: the colors of the fluid ranges, so the fact that its brown isnt necessarily bad. It sounds like it could be a period substitue, maybe your body is lacking in fluids (water). I suggest drinking a lot of water to avoid this happening again.

So why did you ask again? You are getting the same answers you had before and you said you were going to talk to your aunt then.

Talk with your mom or some other relative or the school nurse. All kinds of stuff happens during a period, it's nothing to worry about.

This could be a sign that you are having fertility problems. I would highly suggest you go see a gynecologist.
