Brown Discharge

Elizabeth
So I will spare you all the picture but I had a cervical check today and this doctor is in particular pretty rough. Anyhow. I felt great when I went in and really uncomfortable when I left. Well tonight when I went to the bathroom, I had brown discharge. It's not red, there's not a ton of it but it's still there. I'm not having contractions and my water has not broke. 
So. Is it just from my cervical check or is it early stages of labor?
Thanks in advance.
