periods...or what? (for ladies only)

[melodinpanic]

Hello, I've been quite good in the last couple of days, I haven't been worrying a lot...
Today I'm back worrying! I really hope you can advice me.
I was supposed to finish my period yesterday-today and today I stopped bleeding and instead I've been having this horrible thick brown discharge.
Is this normal?
I had a smear test 3 weeks ago (the results are not back yet... ) and I remember I had the same brown discharge after the visit. And the smell is the same! Like iron or metallic smell... kind of strong actually. I guess thats the cervix smell...
I really don't wanna freak out yet, Please anyone, tell me if you had or having the same symptoms...

hi,

i too have this discharge after my period, it is just the old blood coming away xx

It smells of iron because of the iron in the blood. This is very normal. I have it ever time im on the tail end of my period. Its nothing to worry about I assure you x

I feel much better now that I know that is not just me with this problem, thanx for ur replies!!

Yeah this is normal its just old blood as opposed to the fresh we get at the beginning. It sticks around the womb whilst you are on your period & dries up if you like hence the brown discharge appearance.

DONT WORRY HUN XX
