   Ok so this is really bothering me cos I am not sure if something is wrong with me and I should be worried or if it is normal and you are the only people I can ask so here goes:
So, AF arrived on Sunday and kinda started calming down on Tuesday but seemed to look like (and this is the gross part) it was a bit brown (this only started on Tuesday) and since then, it has stopped but yesterday and today, there is only this brown - like a brown discharge (I know that sounds gross and I am so sorry if you read this despite the subject heading)
 Has this happened to anyone else?  What is wrong with me??  Its been going all yesterday and today - not heavy just there - like spotting...  ewwww

   well.... I tend to have a heavy period on day 1, then light day 2 and 3 and day 4 is like a brownish colour and really light, I would liken it to it being like old lining if that makes any sense.  It usually only lasts the 1 day though

   i got that when i came off the pill, i think it was just my body getting rid of excess gunk up there.  i don't think it is in any way harmful, it is just a clear out.

   Hasn't happened to me, but I've heard of it happening to lots of women who are trying for a baby, and from what I've heard, is nothing to panic about... wait and see if it arrives next month - maybe not?!?  PS:  that's not TMI - no need to apologise, especially with a disclaimer like that for a title!   |

   Sounds fairly normal to me too, what the brown color usually indicates is that the blood is a bit 'older', so I would agree with perhaps your body is clearing out a bit of old tissue or something like that. If it keeps up for a while though, ring your Dr.

   Not trying to get your hopes up but is it worth a preganacy test?
 It does sound pretty normal though if your body is adjusting to no longer having any of the depo in your system.

   I came off the depo in Jan (that was my last booked appt and I missed it on purpose) and about a month ago I got this yucky brown discharge for a day, nothing before and nothing since... maybe as the other girls said it could be old lining / blood?!

   I had a very weird period like that and then figured out a month later when AF hadn't arrived that I was pregnant.
 I figure it was implantation bleeding.
 
 Here's hoping huh?

   I might do a test in the morning - its doing my head in now  - the hoping. I have to get it out of the way or I will keep thinking about it.  Don't worry Paws - I don't have my hopes up - I will just keep thinking about it    |

   It probably won't hurt to do one just to rule it out.  Good luck!

   just be prepared that it might not show up yet, it still may be too early.  I think  my last period was implantation bleeding (well, will know for sure on wed!) i tested a couple of days after it and it was neg, then i tested 3 days before af was due and got bfp.  So test tomorrow, but wait another 2 weeks and test again, if it is neg that is.  good luck!

   Yeh i would recommend doing a pregnancy test and seeing what happens. Do you chart? Do you have a link to a chart we can look at? Just wanna know what your temps were or are through this mystery period.

   I do chart Jess but I haven't figured out how to link it.  My temperature plummetted when AF started after being higher up after O so I don't think my test will be a BFP.
