Hello everyone, I have been doing a lot of research online about brown discharge and it seems to be a common problem I'm realizing. I am 17 years old almost 18 so bear with me here but being in high school with this problem is quite embarrassing. I started having brown discharge about 4 months and it lasted the entire month my period was even a brown almost black. I got on the pill and was tested for all stds and had a pap all was normal. First month on the pill I had brown discharge the whole month but my period turned red this time. And after it was over to my relief I had no brown spotting. But of course 2 weeks later it started up again and went until my period. The same thing happen on my next cycle. It's very frustrating I have a boyfriend and it makes things difficult and me insecure. I was thinking about taking iron supplements my periods are fairly heavy and my mother is aniemic. But I have a very weak stomach. Douching is said to be a bad idea as well. I'm going to try rasberry tea though. But what I'm wondering is if anyone has had this problem and found some remedy or if Im just destine for years of frustration?
