I have not ever had a regular period. It always comes and goes whenever it wants, it usually between 35-40 day cycles rather than the usual 28 days. I have a very heavy period and it lasts for 7 days. My last period was during the week of July 4th. It has not come yet, but I have had some strange things (even for me) happen over the last few weeks. ( I should add that I have had three children via c-section and my youngest is 16 months and we stopped nursing about 4 months ago) Over the last few weeks I have had three episodes of brown tinged disharge and also at different times a very thick clear discharge(like during ovulation) and my period has yet to show. We use condoms properly (because three girls is all we need) and I just wonder if one can ovulate more than once per cycle. Has anyone had anything similar?

I also do not have insurance to see a OBGYN.

after three children, I would suspect endometriosis first, see your gynecologist.

I did something similiar to that after having my last son and getting my tubes removed, the periods became irregular and when they did come, it was like the discharge you described. Since there wasn't any pain I left it alone, too long as it turned out, I developed an ovarian cyst the size of a 5 month fetus on my left ovary, it had to be removed.
See your doctor, this is my experience, but endometriosis could be a culprit as well.

You really need to discuss this with your doctor. I do know that if you are overweight it can change your periods. Brown tinged discharge should be checked and monitor by your doctor. Don't wait.
