I'm a twenty year old female and I've been on birth control since I was about 15 years old due to heavy periods and unbearable cramping. The past 4-5 months I've been having dark brown periods. I've had dark brown periods occasionally but never 4 months in a row. I took at home pregnancy tests that all turned out negative and I am occasionally a few hours late taking my pill. I recently switch doctors and wanted to switch me to Loestrin on a lower dose. She gave me 2 samples and I am halfway into the second sample. My cramps have been worse, but the period is still dark brown and not very heavy. I will switch back to my original prescription, Necon, because I feel it helped my problem better.
I also would like to add that I am sexually active with my boyfriend of 2 years. I have had gonorrhea, but it was taken care of as soon as it was discovered.
Please let me know what my 4-5 brown periods could be, what you are most concerned about, and if I should see a doctor. Thank you so much!
