Did you recently come off your period? It could just be old blood.

Otherwise you're either about to start your period or its just a little breakthrough bleeding. Brown blood is not normally something you need to worry about.

No, my last period was three weeks ago.


Breakthrough bleeding sounds reasonable. I may go to my GP anyway, I heard that sometimes it happens if youre on the wrong pill??

thanks maddie!

Well, breakthrough bleeding is pretty normal for the first few months on the pill, but it is possible your GP will switch them-- especially if you have other side effects.

Keep taking the pills for now, it may go away on its own.
