Brown spotting after period.?

Question:

I went to my annual pap appointment today and had a horrible time. Anyway, in the begining I had told the DR that I still breastfeeding my 19 month old son and that my cycles are a little odd... meaning that I spot brown for about a week or more past my normal period cycle. So I tell him this thinking he'll say.. oh yeah... hormones... blah.. blah... NO... He RUSHES me into the U/S room and proceeds to look around and say that he doesn't "see" anything but "of course we can't rule out cancer..." GREAT! So, I tell him that my B-Day is tomorrow and that I don't want to feel like I may have some kind of cancer and not enjoy my b-day... He stared at me. I said could it be anything that is nothing to worry about? He says... "Yeah, could be, but we can't be sure unless we do a biopsy" Wow, this is so crazy... Now, I'm in panic mode, not wanting to go out for my b-day because now I could be dying?! I know this is dramatic of me, but I don't really have anyone to talk to.

the brown stuff you are referring to is your period ending its dried blood its perfectly normal

i think you are pooping out the wrong hole.....

the brown is dried blood from your period.. * you always get brown when you first start(maybe) and when it comes to an end..its just old blood..thats all..nothing to worry about..

I agree with the first response...sounds completly normal. As for your docotr, I think it is time that you get a new doctor that will spend some time with you and your concerns. Good luck!

I think oceanlady is right. She said what I was going to say except that 50% of all doctors graduated in the bottom half of their class. Just something to thing about when you see your doc.
