My periods are usually pretty normal (every 28-35 days, sometimes even a little later). Last month, I got my period on the 15th. This month, I was expecting it to be late because I've been really stressed the past couple of weeks. Anyway, all last week, I felt like I had cramps... you know, the kind of "warning stomachache" you get before your period is about to come? So, then, on Friday (the 18th), I came home from shopping, went to the bathroom, and noticed blood on my underwear. I was shocked because I hadn't felt ANY cramps at all that day, but I figured, hey, it was probably just the beginning of my period, and I was sure the cramps were soon to follow. But, I was wrong. I felt fine the rest of the day, and, in fact, I stopped bleeding. I only had that little bit of spotting while I was out shopping, and by the time I noticed it, it had stopped. I didn't have any blood at all the rest of the day. I figured my period would just start back up again, but I was wrong... I've had nothing. No cramps, no blood. And, since yesterday, I've also noticed that I am now starting to have brown discharge. I have no idea what this is. I've read somewhere that it could be a pregnancy symptom, and that some women also have spotting around the time of their period when they are pregnant, but I also read that the brown discharge could be old blood that my body is cleaning out of my system. But, then why did I only have not even a day of a period? My body has NEVER done that before. Maybe it's the stress... Can someone help me out?
