Question : I've been on an estrgen and a progesterone since Feb. I have had ultra sounds when I was spotting. And found only some thinning. I just had some light brownish spotting ? Do I need a harmone change or is this normal? XXXXX YYYY@YYYY

It is normal.

Detailed Answer:
Hi,

Thank you for your query. I can understand your concerns.

Mild amount of brown discharge is within acceptable limits.

You do not need to change your hormones prescription.
