I'm noticing some stringy brown discharge for about a week now whenever I wipe. My period's due on the 28th of May, and we're trying for a baby. Can you tell me what's going on with this?
You may be experiencing ovulation bleeding, which can sometimes occur when you are trying to conceive. It is usually nothing to worry about and can be a sign of fertility. However, if you are concerned, you can try taking folic acid supplements to support your fertility.
