Nikki,
Ignore my previous response to your brown discharge. I didn't read your
post on taking the pregnancy tests. You may just be having a light
period because your lining is thin. I have had just brown discharge
even after taking provera to induce a period. I don't typically have a
period anyway, so I always figure something is better than nothing. Good
luck. Hope you have good news soon.
