Pinkish-Brown Vaginal Discharge: Causes & Concerns After Irregular Periods & Possible Pregnancy

Question
ok so im 19 and for the last day or so i keep having this pinkish  brown discharge and i haven't had my period for about 2 months but I'm very irregular and I'm scared because for the last few weeks all i have been doing is drinking up a storm and i have had sex. What is the pink stuff should i be worried???

Answer
Dear Crystal,

If you have had unprotected sex since the last time you had a period, pregnancy is always a possibility. The pink/brown discharge may be hormonally related if you have a history of irregular cycles, but it could also be implantation bleeding if a pregnancy has occurred.

My suggestion is to go ahead and test for pregnancy. You did not say whether going two months between periods was normal for you or not, but I would assume it is a longer stretch then you are used to or you would not be as concerned. When you test, make sure to use 1st morning urine to get a concentrated sample for the most accurate results. If the result is negative, the spotting is likely hormonal in nature and nothing to be overly concerned about with the irregular cycles you have.

I hope this information has helped you and answered your question. I wish you well.
