Hi mummy, I do experience brown discharge in my 1st trimester. Doc gave me duphaston for pregnancy support. This is to prevent MC. So long is not red blood should be fine. Just rest more and walk less. The discharge will go away as could be old blood. Keep positive mind. Now I’m in my 2nd trimesters and everything’s good. Hope all goes well for you too.

Roughly about few weeks. It doesn’t stop immediately after the Med but gradually will reduce and be gone.
