    Question

    I recently was overseas and my period came normally at the end of the month. I had anal intercourse with my boyfriend August 15th and after that i was bleeding from my behind. Now i notice I have a dark brown discharge, and it's a week early before my period. I usually have normal periods.

    Answer

    Does not sound like this is normal at all and I encourage you to see a doctor, tell her about the anal sex, and whether a condom was used or not, so she tests you for sexually transmitted infections.
