Hi, I am 21 and I have been through a lot in my life. My periods are very irregular. My cycles very from 28 to 32 to 21 days. When my period first starts it is brown and it lasts very lightly for about a day or two and then my period is so heavy and dark red that it worries me. I am expecting my period in a week or two but this afternoon it arrived and it is almost brown green. My breasts hurt so badly and I cannot stop sweating. I am very worried at the moment. I would have gone to the doctor but unfortuatly I have no health coverage. I am in a rough spot and I need some kind of advice. Do you know what is going on with me? One more thing I have to add, I examined my breasts and a clear sticky substance comes from my nipples. Does that have anything to do with what is wrong?…Thanks
Rose

The brown green discharge as well as the sweats could signify an infection. These key things on your brief history should enourage you to see a health professional immediately.
Try contacting a county health clinic in your area.
