Normal Causes of Dark Brown Discharge in the Middle of Your Cycle

* Implantation bleeding: This is light bleeding or spotting that occurs when the fertilized egg implants in the wall of the uterus. Implantation bleeding usually happens 6-12 days after ovulation and can be accompanied by mild cramps.

* Ovulation spotting: Some women experience light spotting or discharge around the time of ovulation. This is usually due to the hormonal changes associated with ovulation and is nothing to be concerned about.

* Stress: High levels of stress can disrupt your hormones and cause spotting or irregular bleeding.

* Medications: Certain medications, such as birth control pills, can cause spotting or irregular bleeding.

* Pelvic injury: A pelvic injury can also cause spotting or bleeding.

When to See a Doctor

If the dark brown discharge is heavy or persistent, or if it is accompanied by other symptoms such as pain, fever, or dizziness, you should see a doctor as it may be a sign of an underlying medical condition.
