Brown discharge instead of period?

Question

I should've started my period on 3/18, I felt as if I was starting my period and had a dark brown discharge instead (old blood) this has happened before... But, I eventually started my period.  This time, only very light dark blood, just barely when I wipe.  Not enough to even use a tampon.  Lasted about 2 days.  I took a pregnancy test this morning (thursday) and it was negative.  Basically, I feel like I've never had my period!!  Anyone else have this happen to them???

Answer

I had this last month in place of af. I wasn't pregnant just a weird period. And it lasted two days - not enough for a tampon.

Answer

Yes, that sounds very similar to what I'm expericing right now... I should've started my period Tuesday, typically last 3-4 days at the most. What I've had has been very very light, dark brown, only last 1-2 days.  I'm curious if that was an extremely light, weird period... Or if I could be pregnant?  I plan to take another HPT Saturday morning...  I don't feel like I am pregnant, however, I've never had anything like this before.... And not having my normal period has me wondering.

Answer

I get that every month and so far it's turned out to be AF but I hope for you it's different

​are you charting? If so, are temps remaining high or dropping?
​
​A dropping temp indicates AF is on her way :-(

Answer

I'm going through this now . I had spotting a week before AF was due . I was sure it was implantation . Then I woke up Monday to what I thought was AF (tmi) it was really dark brown , any then it never got heavier . It's only been spotting since then , and that has been almost five days . Idk wht to think ?  It not like my normal AF .
