<s>[INST] I have been having brown stringy discharge for 4 days now, my period was due yesterday. Ive been having cramps off and on for a week.  Ive never had brown discharge before my period nor for this long? Is this normal? My husband and I are trying to conceive for 6 months now, could I be pregnant, I dont have any pregnancy symptoms? [/INST] Hello, thanks for using Chat Doctor. Brown stingy discharges are not normal and are usually an indication of a genital tract infection. Genital tract infections could be severe particularly in the case of pelvic inflammatory diseases. Pelvic inflammatory disease is severe in that it is a frequent cause of infertility, lower abdominal pains and fowl vagina discharges. As for the pregnancy, you need to do a pregnancy test with early morning urine. You need to see a gynecologist for detail evaluation and tests and for follow up. Hope this helps you.
