Brownish vaginal discharge before period?

why do I have thick brownish discharge? It's like having a period before my period. I suffer from leg cramps, heavy bloating, extreme fatigue,depression and a thick,brownish discharge for three to four days before I actually get my period. Please advise.

This is normal. You period 'blood' is not actually all blood. It has nutrients and proteins etc. This brown discharge is just the first layer of your period - which is stacked full of nutrients, which makes it brown. Leg cramps and bloating are 100% normal. My suggestion is to take ibuprofin, it wil help a lot.

I heard that the brown discharge is old blood coming out.

I've been having a mustard color discharge sometimes during the month it only happens in the day and sometimes the discharge is greyish and it happens in the day as well. there is no burning and very little itching . is this normal? I have never had this before.

when do you know you are having it?

its Implantation bleeding a sign of pregnancy if you have blood in discharge that's a pregnancy sign it can be pink/brown blood so I don't know what people are saying it normal its not its a pregnancy sign . if you got it on the same day when you starting your period then its not but if its a few days before then yes its implantation bleeding

Dried blood but your body will obsorb it

don't worry all that is totally normal.

its normal.
my best friend has
it like that.

Hi, I am 20 year old and I would like to know is it normal for a brownish discharge because last month January I had it. Now this month I had it again with some day is brownish, another day is like red-brown or sometime just red. Not just that my tummy are bloated too. I don’t know is that my pms or what because sometime I have my pms early or sometime late. My pms never had been on time.

I don't know if anyone is going to be able to respond to this, or even see it.. but I actually have a question.

Yesterday I had a brownish light discharge... it was one day before my period... thought maybe I was pregnant but later on it started turning red. I've never had a brownish discharge before my period.. just after...

anyway, since it has changed to red.. it's only been light. not much cramping. I don't know if my body just hasn't realized that my period is here because normally I'd have already been cramping like crazy.. or if it's normal to bleed lightly for a couple of days and still be preggers?

Was your previous period lighter than normal? Perhaps you are expereincing the ridding of old endometrial tissue which did not completely leave your body during your last period. It is typical for the remaining endometrial tissue to finally leave your body a few days before your next period. It is now brown because it has lost its hemoglobin which causes periods to be red. Your real period is red and will follow. If you have not been as active or under as much stress in the last couple months, your periods may be lighter for a while. You could be pregnant. You could wait and see if other signs appear or just go ahead and take a HPT. Everyone has different pregnancy experiences. Trust your body.
