Ok, this is kinda gross... but for the past two days I've been having this weird, brown discharge. It wasn't much at first but last night I put on a pad and it almost looks like I'm having my period. And that's what I thought at first - it kind of looked like the brown, not-quite-bloody discharge I get RIGHT before my period starts (like, within an hour or two). But so far, I haven't started my period and I'm still getting this brown discharge.
I don't have any other symtoms. It doesn't hurt or itch or burn or anything like that. I looked all over the place (including webmd) but couldn't find anything that matched my symptom.
So does anyone know what it could be? This has never happened to me and I don't know what's going on. Could it possibly be my period? Is it related to sexual contact? I'm a virgin, but last week my boyfriend and I did a lot of sexual stuff I've never done before, so could something like that have caused it?
I know I should go to a gynocologist but I'm way scared and I just wanted to ask here before I do that, just in case someone knows something about it and it's not serious.
I hope this helps you out. The advice the others have given you is fine but these fact sheets can be printed out so you'll always know whether something is wrong or not and if you need to see your gynacologist or not. [ solidadvice4teens's advice column | Ask solidadvice4teens A Question ]

Other than that, it's probably nothing, but speak with your Mom/MD if it continues beyond a few days.

It could have been from the things that you and your boyfriend did but really, it's nothing to be worried about. It's called 'spotting' or breakthrough bleeding.
If it continues to happen whenever you get your period, it might be a good idea to see the gynocologist. And that, you shouldn't be scared about either. You'd be more comfortable with a female doctor since it's your first time going. Your doctor can probably suggest a birth control pill or patch you can go on that can prevent this, however with some birth controls, this breakthrough bleeding is also a side affect.
