Thank you for sharing your question with the EmpowHER community.
Sometimes if your menstrual cycle is late, it will come in the form of brown discharge. Or you might have it at the end of your existing period and can occur if you ovulate in the middle of your menstrual cycle.
Are you experiencing any other symptoms along with the brown discharge? Like pain, discharge that is watery or yellowish, depression, vaginal dryness, pain during intercourse, frequent urination, burning, itching or lost of appetite?
Not all cases of brown discharge are cause for concern. It could be your vagina cleaning itself out. If you are not experiencing any other symptoms and this is your first time experiencing it, the cleaning process is likely the reason.
If you do have additional symptoms, it's best that you see your doctor.
