OBGYN,  's  Response
Hi,
Thanks for the query.
Yes, usually brown colored blood indicates accumulated blood in the endometrium.
According to your history, there is possibility of some hormonal imbalance.
As you took over dose of medicines, that might have altered your hormonal levels, leading to continuous spotting.
So you once consult gynecologist, get examined.
With her suggestion, go for ultrasound and thyroid profile once.
By these, the possible cause for your problem can be identified.
If there is hormonal abnormality, taking the hormonal pills for few months may regularize your cycles.
If thyroid abnormality is detected, you have to use concerned medicines.
Take care.
