This could be caused by several different things. Could be nothing, could be serious. See your doctor.

spotting is a term for bloody discharge.  If you haven't started menstruating yet, or are between periods and you notice a little reddish or brownish spot (or spots) in your underwear, this is known as spotting and it is very natural.  If you are in pain or are bleeding heavily (more than a normal period) see a doctor.  Otherwise, welcome to womanhood m'dear.

You should go to the doctor. You might have an infection.

Get yourself to a doctor! Please don't let shyness scare you off. There is probably a free clinic in your area and I suggest you take advantage of it. If not, try a Planned Parenthood. You say your discharge has blood in it? While it's normal to have discharge between periods and even something called breakthrough bleeding, having discharge with blood and pain is not normal.\n\nPID(pelvic inflammatory disease), gonorrhea(an STD), yeast infection, bacterial infection, ovarian cysts, bladder infection, endometriosis, even cancer can cause your symptoms.\n\nPlease please go to a doctor. Your reproductive health and you life could depend on it. Good luck

Every woman has a distinct smell "down there", especially at certain times of the month.  Since you are entering your more fertile years, it may be a sign that you are ovulating.  As for the smell, I've found that washing yourself with a wet wipe in the bathroom a few times a day can help.  If the discharge becomes really thick or you have any pain see your doctor immediately.  I assume since you said you've seen your doctor lately you discussed this with him/her.  If not, please do, they will have more reassuring advice than anyone on here.

"Usually brown discoloration is old blood. It' s actually not uncommon at all. However, it is something worth having a doctor check, as it could be a sign of infection or tumors, although this is very rare."\n\nFor more on Hematospermia read this:\nhttp://www.emedicine.com/med/topic3466.htm\n\nProbably nothing to worry about, but if it persists see a doctor. Good luck.

When I was 12, one by one, my friends got theirs, so I was kinda anticipating mine. By the time I got mine (it was a light brownish stain at first), I couldn't believe it. Then later that night came the red blood, I actually cried and got my mom worried to death, knocking on the bathroom door asking me of things were ok. I know, what a wimp. Looking back, I can laugh at myself now. But seriously, there's nothing to be worried about. Don't be scared, it's just blood. It shouldn't hurt either, may be some cramps at most. So take it from me, the girl who cried when she got it the first time - it's natural   :)

CALL AN ADVICE NURSE AT YOUR LOCAL HOSPITAL\n\nITS FREE AND THEY CAN TELL YOU WHAT TO DO!\n\nThere could be a serious infection developing if your Doctor hasnt seen it since youve last been there.

It's not typical, but I suppose it could happen. If you've always had it and it hasn't grown or changed color you should be okay. Check with the doc if you're concerned.

It can be couple of things - and the best advice is to go to your gyno - s/he will know for sure.\nMost probably it is nothing serious, and it will go away on its own.\nBut it can also be a symptom of something more serious. \nSee a gyno.

The brown discharge is old blood that your body hasn't gotten rid of yet. Before going off the patch, did you have your period regularly, if not that's why. I would see your dr. just to make sure though.\n\nBest of Luck(trying to conceive)

Sounds like what you are descibing is spotting.  Definitely call your doctor though.  It could be as simple as rough sex that caused the bleeding, or it could be a sign of an STD, or an infection down there.
