Question
I'm 18, sexually active and I haven't had a normal period in the past 3 months. lately I've had this brown discharge instead. I'm worried because it hasn't gone away now. I've had it for three weeks straight what's wrong with me? I went to the ER and they told me I wasn't pregnant.
Answer
It sounds like a trip to a Planned Parenthood Clinic, or your doctor is in order - to be checked for sexually transmitted infections. Sorry, and at least you know you are not pregnant.
