nervous :\

i caught one heck of a virus somehow and have been laid out in bed with a fever on & off and the symptoms of a rotten headcold, and earlier this evening (after blowing my nose a whole bunch of times), i went potty and found spots of a brownish color in my panties/on the tp when i wiped (similar to the brownish blood that comes at the beginning/end of my period). i'm pretty prone to yeasties so it isn't surprising that i would get one when i was sick otherwise on top of it, but this seemed weird to me considering i'd never had discharge like that outside of my period (and it isn't due for at least another 10 days). in looking at the super helpful links in this community, i found this bit of info -

Brown: May happen right after periods, and is just "cleaning out" your vagina. Old blood looks brown.

Spotting Blood/Brown Discharge: This may occur when you are ovulating/mid-cycle. Sometimes early in pregnancy you may have spotting or a brownish discharge at the time your period would normally come. If you have spotting at the time of your normal period rather than your usual amount of flow, and you have had sex without using birth control, you should check a pregnancy test.

edit: i have no STDs and have not had unprotected sex recently, so it couldn't be pregnancy spotting either.


is it possible that i could be/could have been bleeding internally somewhere? am i just being paranoid? is it anything to worry about? thank you in advance!
