I missed my period in march and April and then it showed up 2weeks late in may. Then 2weeks later it returned for one day and was done... Now I m a week and a half late for my regular period and I am experiencing a thick brown kind of pasty discharge.... What could be wrong and should I worry

Hello
You need to worry, just relax.
Brownish discharge might be related to infection or inflammation of the urogenital tract, ectopic pregnancy.
I see patients with similar complaints in my clinic and I would advise them for physical examination, a battery of tests like urine culture and discharge swab culture or if meed be an ultrasound pelvis and abdomen to find out the underlying cause for brownish discharge.

If you can write back to me with following details, so that I will be able to tell you more accurately like
your age
any recent exposure to unprotected sex

I would advise you to get urine pregnancy card test which can be done at home to rule out possibility of Pregnancy.

Please do let me know if you want to discuss further
Best wishes
