Brown blood or Discharge on underwear

[Yohanz]

I know I may be a bit annoying now, I'm sorry because I keep asking if there's a possibility of pregnancy in my situation which I know now that it's not. It's been 15 days when that happened so I'm kinda anxious because my girlfriend had a brown discharge or it's an old blood on her undies yesterday and today is it normal? or it is an implementation bleeding but I know that's not it, it's 5 days before her predicted period her symptoms are bloating, acne breakouts, mood swings and that discharge. She also got that brown blood or discharge on her undies before and the next day she got her first period. Is it PMS?

How can I help her calm down because she said that her tummy is not flat as usual and she's overthinking that what if it's pregnancy. Her symptoms are breakouts acne, bloating, brown discharge, moodswings.

Hi Yohanz,

Everything she's experiencing sounds like PMS, especially since it's happening close to when she's expecting her period. Discharge can actually have a brown tint to it a few days before or after a period, so that's also the likely explanation there.

But, as we've already explained, there wasn't a risk in the first place, so this can't be a sign of pregnancy. If you want, you could give her this piece, and read it yourself, for next steps: The Pregnancy Panic Companion

Hello Sam,

I appreciate you replying on my thread I explained how pregnancy happen and not happen on my girlfriend, thanks to scarleteen that I have this information now. I saw an article that pre moistened sperm isn't viable I want to know of it's true because I can't see any article that talks about the same thing.

Hi Yohanz,

I am having trouble understanding what you mean by "pre moistened sperm". Can you explain so I can best support you?

sorry I mean pre moistened semen

Hi Yohanz,

There isn't such a thing as "pre-moistened" semen. Semen comes out of the body as a wet substance. If it dries out in the open air and then gets wet again (like if someone takes a shower) that's not going to suddenly make it viable again because the sperm are either already dead or about to be damaged/washed away by the water.
