I've already looked through the archives, and stuff on here about discharge and brown discharge. It all seems to say the same thing, so I'm not going to look futher for the moment.
I'm 17, Australian. I use a DivaCup (since feb). Virgin, and haven't used any form of birth control (besides abstinence).
This morning I discovered brownish coloured discharge in my undies. It's been about 21 days from the first day of my last period.
First thought I had: "Again! so soon?"
But my periods don't start like this (they did end like this, but now it's harder to tell using the cup). Also, it's too early. My cycle is ususally longer then 28 days.
About brown discharge: It was said it is normal before and after a period and mid cycle (ovulation etc). Do you think this could be mid cycle stuff? I ususally don't get brown midcycle discharge. Anyone know what would cause this?
I'm not worried or anything, it doesn't itch or anything. It is just annoying getting muck on my undies unexpectedly and not knowing exactly why.
Thanx!
Edit: Sorry, i didn't really describe the discharge. It's a pretty dark brown, and nearly black when in tiny clumpy bits. When I smell it (and I have to get up pretty close) it smells a little bit different (probably more menstrualy smelly) but not very different. Oh, also, my cervix seems to be lower then when I'm on my period, that kinda indicates ovulation and such doesn't it?
