Hi OluwakemiSiyanbola12,
Thank you for your question and for joining EmpowHER. What you have described as "dark discharge" could be your menstrual period. It is completely normal for the color and consistency of your menstrual blood to change. This is not considered irregular. If you have periods that are not within the range of a 21-32 day cycle, or if you have excessive bleeding (longer than 7 days at a time, or so heavy that you need to change your pad or tampon every hour), then your period may be considered abnormal.
Have you been diagnosed by your doctor with a particular condition? How long have you been trying to conceive?
You also mentioned weight gain. How much weight have you gained, and in what time frame have you gained it? How has your eating been, and do you exercise?
Hope the information helps. If you still are not clear on what is going on, please let us know how we may be able to help you better.
Good luck!
