I apologize in advance for the graphic
nature of this post but im so scared about
whats happening to me.
My boyfriend and I had sex using a condom
on May 31st.
Suddenly the next day, yesterday and today
(June 3) ive been bleeding dark almost
black blood. Its not a lot of blood its
like the amount you get when youre perhaps
on the last 1-2 days of your period. Its
not tacky its just liquid so it seeps into
fabric without clotting on top and dries
easily. Im on birth control pills and ive
missed 2 days (not 2 days straight but
with a few days between the 2x's i didnt
take the pill). This is my third month of
taking BCPs and nothing like this has ever
happened. I still have about a week and a
half's worth of BCPs more to go until i
take the placebo/dud pills. I havent felt
bloating or cramps or burning or itching
at all. I am trying to avoid going to the
doctor because im 17 and my mom doesnt
know im sexually active so asking her for
a random Gyno appointment (which i have
gone to before with my mom but for
different reasons aka she doesnt know i
get paps she thinks i get checked for
infections and other things that can
happen to a non sexually active teen)
would ring bells that i aint no virgin
anymore.
What is happening to me? Has this ever
happened to you? Have you ever heard of
this happening before? Help!

I'm in a similar situation - and I also
apologize for the length of my post, but
everyone seems to think your whole
background is important.
I am 22, I have been sexually active since
18 and on the pill constantly since 17. I
do have a current sexual partner; we
always use condoms. I've always been
prone to yeast infections.
The recent history is that for the past
few months, I kept getting my period
earlier and earlier, so a month ago I
decided, "I'm going to go off my pills for
the rest of the pack, let my body have its
period whenever it pleases, and then start
the new pack when I normally would have."
My period started immediately and went
normally, but since then (3 weeks) I have
had this brown discharge! Like the above
poster, it is dark brown, almost black,
not sticky or clumpy, odorless, although I
am having a bit of itchiness (however,
given my history with yeast infections, I
suspect this to be from wearing
pantyliners for a month straight).
I would believe that it was blood, but I
would be extremely surprised if this was
pregnancy-related; is it possible that my
body has all this built-up old blood that
the Pill was preventing from escaping, and
that's all this is?

For the first 3 months or so that you're
on the pill, it's normal to have some
spotting.
And honeslty, (squirrel) if you stop
taking your pill, that will mess up your
cycle because of the abrupt change in
hormones- and explains the spotting as
well. It might just be that it's time for
a pill change. It's not built up blood or
anything, just change in the hormone
levels and your body readjusting.
