Question about vaginal discharge

I'm 24 with 3 kids ages 6,4,and 2. The past two monthly cycles I have noticed a change in my vaginal discharge about 1-2 weeks before my period. It gets clumpy and is dark brown but doesn't have any unusual odor. There's no itching or pain. It last about a week and tapers off to normal discharge. I was wondering if this is normal? Can anyone help?

It may be spotting when you ovulate.

I actually have a question too, not sure how this whole thing really works but here's hoping! I'm just about 4ths into my first pregnacy and today i noticed a brown discharge in just a little red it hasn't gotten heavier and I have no cramping besides the food I had earlir. I'm I experiencing the early signs of a miscarriage or or is this just my uterus growing???/ Please help! I'll call the DR tomoorw if it continues! Thanks Jenn

Bleeding during pregnancy is something you should check with the DR about right away. Not to worry you, as this IS normal for some people. I have been through 3 pregnancies and I did have a miscarriage with the second one. The bleeding started out dark, then looked like a normal period and I had used 2 pads before my afternoon Dr's appointment. As you mentioned it hasn't gotten heavier, I'm inclined to believe it may be a normal thing for you... but be safe and call the Dr just in case...


Good luck!
