Hi Im a 17 year old girl who is confused about what is happening to me right now. Please help me and i really would appreciate a good detailed answer. Ok so my period just ended 4 days ago and 2 days after my period ended i had some brown blood in my underwear i thought it was just some leftover blood that got left out from my recent period. But after 1 day of what happened i have a watery discharge with a little bit of blood mixed in but it was mostly sticky clear discharge. Why is this happening? In so scared now because i fear that it is implantation bleeding and i might be pregnant. I am in a relationship but i am saving intercourse until marriage. Im a virgin but me and my bf do other things too but we dont go all the way. Is it possible to be pregnant with fingering, mutual masturbation, or oral. We are always very careful and he washes his hands before touching me if he touched himself before. But im just scared and confused. Am i pregnant? Can this be implantation bleeding?

I am experiencing a slight pinkish discharge when I wipe. I completed my cycle a few days ago but think it's too early for ovulation. I take birth control and haven't had sex for at least one cycle. Please tell me this is just left over from my period.

Thanks

Hello Lizzy,

Thank you for your question. No, this was not implantation bleeding, but probably some old blood and uterine lining remaining from your most recent period.

If you normally have a 28 to 30 day menstrual cycle, it was too early for ovulation, thus no risk of pregnancy and implantation of a fertilized egg.

Regards,
Maryann

I'm 17 and never had sex also I'm not on birth control and my period is regular but for the past three or four months I have been getting spotting after my period. It's routine, I usually spot for 3-5 days after my period for 5-8 days and it's always like a light/dark brown color (sometimes on the last day of spotting there will be a little red blood) and then it will stop for the whole month and it won't happen again until after my next period. There is no pain or other symptoms accompanying this and I'm so confused on what it could be and I'm scared to go to the gynecologist because I've never been there. What do you think this could be? it's really weird.. could it be my hormones or the fact the im underweight?

Hello Anonymous,

Thank you for your question. It is interesting that you started having post period spotting only within the last three or four months. Determining what was different during this period may shed light on the reason.

As you know, the menstrual cycle is regulated by hormones. The brown vaginal spotting is just old blood and uterine lining left over and your body is expelling.

I cannot think of a reason for this but I am guessing it has to do with hormone levels. I an appreciate your reservations about seeing a gynecologist, but will need to at some point. It really isn't that scary of an experience. It is important to find a physician that you feel comfortable with.

Hi Anonymous,

Thank you for your question. The brownish discharge is old blood and remnants of the uterine lining left over from your recent period.

I am guessing the spotting is because your body is adjusting to not being on birth control pills. Birth control pills contain either one or a combination of the synthetic hormones, estrogen and progestin.
When you stop the pills, your menstrual cycle goes back to being controlled by naturally produced and secreted hormones.

Consult your gynecologist to confirm or debunk my suggestions.

Regards,
Maryann
