How can I tell if my period is starting or ending if it arrived late and in the form of brown discharge?

Hi,

Having brown discharge may not necessarily mean you are having your period. Brownish discharge may be related to other causes instead.

This may indicate an underlying cause such as a vaginal infection, STDs or even other causes such as early pregnancy.

The best advice would be to get yourself checked if you are experiencing such symptoms so that you can find out if there is any underlying cause that needs to be treated.
