Hi, I'm 33 years old and I've been having this brown discharge/spotting on and off since june this year. My dr put me on provera which made it worst. I bleed more so I stopped and I was back to spotting. On Aug. 5 my brown spotting/light bleeding finally stopped. Then I start having this yellowish discharge and on Sept. 1 I had my normal period until Sept. 4 then I'm back to the yellowish discharge (whenever I wipe) On Sept. 11 I started having brown discharge again, it's not heavy (used one pentiliner each day) but it's very annoying since I'm trying to get pregnant. I had a pelvic ultrasound, pelvic exam, blood test, etc. All came back normal. I wonder if this could be PCOS or something more serious? Should I request more test? My doctor will test my progesterone level next week. Should I request biopsy? I'm not pregnant or on any birth control pills. I don't have any other symptoms besides this brown discharge.

I'm assuming your doc took cultures or looked under the microscope to make sure there isn't an infection. The brown spotting won't hinder you much from getting pregnant, unless you have an endometrial polyp or submucosal polyp that is causing this (more common in women over 30) and only through a sonohysterogram or hysteroscopy can this be diagnosed. A biopsy is usually recommended when you're 35 y/o or greater. Hope this info helps and keep us posted
