Brown discharge for over six months?!
Question: Hi, I've been having brown discharge/spotting on and off for over six months. I've been to a few OB Drs and all exams came back normal, pap smears, pelvic exam, ultrasound, etc. However, the blood test showed that my progesterone level is extremely low (.08) other than that everything seems fine. However, I've been having brown discharge in between periods constantly that each time after I pee, brown liquid would come out. Also, whenever I stand or walk for a long time, I can feel the discharge gushing out. This is very annoying since I'm TTC. I constantly have to run to the bathroom to wipe or check. I already schedule for another ultrasound next week (transvaginal). Meanwhile, I wonder if this had happened to anyone??? Also, do you think this is caused by polyps or fibroids?? Please help!!!!!

I have had brown blood (indication of old blood) before and yes it could be related to polyps or fibroids. I had a polyp removed from the top of my cervix in 1999 (which was benign-normal).
The other possibility is that you could have a hormone imbalance going on to cause this bleeding. I would recommend a consultation with an endocrinologist (a doctor that diagnoses and treats diseases and disorders that relate to hormones such as the thryoid) to see what they think is going on if you haven't already.
