Shadow,
I'm not sure if it's normal or not. If I were you, I would call my doctor and let him/her know about this asap. (Just in case!)

My dr told me that the discharge could range from pink to tan to brown. I never did have brown, but many here have. It's just old blood. If you're worried about it, give your dr a call.

Hi,
I started having brown discharge during the second week post op, too. My doc wasn't concerned about the color but she did tell me to call if the discharge was more than slight.

It's just old blood if it's brown I had it for about a week after I left the hospital. I would worry more if it was very red.

It certainly was normal for me. Then as I became more active it could be pink some days, which scared me a bit at first but stopped when I rested. In my case it went on until 5wks which no-one warned me about but aok now.
All the best.

I'll be 2 weeks post op on Monday and I am still bleeding. The last couple days its brown. I see so many ladies post that don't bleed at all. I am wondering if it has anything to do with a cyst that is still draining from my ovary. I also had a bladder tack and sling. I go to the doctor Monday so I'm sure I'll know more then. I figured since I asked how long I could bleed and I was told it's different for everyone so unless it smells obnoxious or I'm running a fever, that it is just part of the healing process.

Yes it's normal it happened to me and I asked. I was told only to worry if it became heavy, had clots or was smelly. You should talk to your doc for reassurance though.
