Brown discharge..

Miranda
So I have had brown discharge before my period before but this time it seems different. My period is in 5 days normally my breasts get tender and nipples and i have no sign of that this month but I have had a lot of brown discharge.. is this my period? Or what's going on.. maybe it's because I have been sick and it screwed my period up. Anyone else have this issue? And I also had small cramps today.
