Little brown, bloody vaginal discharge or spotting

I’m a teenager and this has been going on on & off for 9 days. This is the first time happening to me. Is it due to stress or some infection? My next menstrual starts in a few days.

  • Bleeding due to pregnancy implantation - if pregnant
  • Some women will experience brownish spotting or discharge during ovulation which is roughly about 1-2 weeks before menstruation
  • Fibroid or polyp growth in the uterus
  • Side effects of contraception - if taken
  • Hormonal changes due to stress, intense physical exercise
