spinning=discharge?

question time!

i'm on mircette birth control pills and am at the end of my 3rd week (meaning next week i start the 'other' ones)

i've been exercising regularly for the last month and a half or so but only this week started spinning (indoor cycling). obviously this puts a lot more pressure on my crotch and after class last night i found some light colored brownish stains and this morning after having gotten dressed for work noticed there was slight brownish discharge...

this is from the pressure of cycling, correct? and nothing to worry about?

happens to me too. :) try to wear padded bike shorts, they seriously make all the difference.

I've never taken a spinning class, but I've cycled since I could walk basically. And I've never had brownish discharge afterwards. I have noticed more discharge, but as that happens to me when it's hot out, I assume its the same principle when I'm all sweaty from exercise. So many people think sitting on a bicycle seat should hurt, and it shouldn't. If it does, adjust the seat height. (the only thing in that area that should hurt when you get off a bike is the bones in your butt, and only if you've been riding for multiple hours)

That said, could it be a precursor to your period brought on by the exercise? I know when I've been particularly active sometimes I'll get a slight brownish color in the days just before.
