are you on any birth control? that can sometimes cause cramps. also when i have cramps my stomach usually gets really hard because the muscles tighten up.

well birth control can do some weird things to your body even after you've been on it awhile... i'm not really sure what else it could be though. you might want to call your doctor

well now its a lot of brown discharge and a little bit of blood. its really weird. i was just on my period two weeks ago. could birth control affect my body this much? i have been on it for almost 11 weeks and until this week it didnt seem to be affecting me too much

yes, it can do a lot of crazy things to your body, especially in the first few months. you should definitely tell your doctor about it though, and if it's a huge concern they can always switch the kind. everyone reacts to different types of birth control differently

What type of bc pill are you on? This sounds very similar to what I experienced while on Yaz and Seasonale....my gyn said that it was just breakthrough bleeding. It happened quite frequently for at least the first 3 months, and then subsided. If your unsure though, then there's no harm in calling your doctor.

I think you are spot bleeding. You are actually kinda having a mild period.
How long have you been on the bc?
This happens to me if I miss a pill or 2. Don't miss any!
