Question : So I had my period from feb 10th to the 15th. Now the last 2 days I have been spotting brown stuff. I'm not sure of what it is. Also when I whipe after the restroom it is brown. What does this mean? Please help...

Hello,
Thanks for the query.
You seem to be having mid cycle spotting.This happens in many women and its normal. You need not worry about this,unless the bleeding continues for more than a couple of days, or becomes heavier.Normally its only spotting lasting 2-3 days midcycle.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further
Regards,
