On several different occasions I have had brownish vaginal discharge. Is this normal? What are the possible causes? By the way, I don't have any STDs. (I know, because I've been tested.)

Different Types of Discharge
White: Thick, white discharge is common at the beginning and end of your cycle. Normal white discharge is not accompanied by itching. If itching is present, thick white discharge can indicate a yeast infection.
Clear and stretchy: This is "fertile" mucous and means you are ovulating.
Clear and watery: This occurs at different times of your cycle and can be particularly heavy after exercising.
Yellow or Green: May indicate an infection, especially if thick or clumpy like cottage cheese or has a foul odor.
Brown: May happen right after periods, and is just "cleaning out" your vagina. Old blood looks brown.
Spotting Blood/Brown Discharge: This may occur when you are ovulating/mid-cycle. Sometimes early in pregnancy you may have spotting or a brownish discharge at the time your period would normally come. If you have spotting at the time of your normal period rather than your usual amount of flow, and you have had sex without using birth control, you should check a pregnancy test.

Brownish discharge is usually left over blood.

brownish discharge at the end of your period is more than likely normal. during the middle of your cycle, is break through bleeding. however, if this is something new, you should definitely speak with your ob/gyn about this.

could be break through bleeding, it could also be old blood after sex. If you have had rough or painful sex, your vagina or cervix will sometimes get small tears or rips which bleed a little. Use a lubricant and ask your partner to be a little more gentle. If this continues though, go see your GYN. Could be something more serious.

It could be old blood left over from your period. I had that stuff when I was on the pill.
