On BC - Late period brown discharge Posted: 04-10-08 14:51pm
I am 17. This is my 3rd month on birth
control. I am sexually active with my
boyfriend. We both have been tested and we
are free of any STDs. I'm on Loestrin 24.
My first month I had a few days of
breakthrough bleeding but my period was on
time. The 2nd month I had no breakthrough
bleeding and everything was on time
perfectly. Now this month, I've taken all
of my pills on time except one, which I
was two hours late. About two weeks to a
week ago, in the middle of the package of
pills, I had a week of brown discharge. It
was light and light brown at first, but it
got darker, heavier, and lasted a week.
There was some blood too. Now it's time
for my period to start. It should have
started yesterday, but it hasn't. I'm on
the four brown pills and mine has always
started on the first one. I know I still
have three more brown pills to take before
I start my new package. Is this normal
since this is only my 3rd month or could
the brown discharge be a period or thrown
my period off? Help?

100% normal!
Your period can start ANYTIME during your
'period' pills, even the LAST DAY, but you
should still start your next pack on
time!
Many women on loestrin will completely
skip a period, because the period week is
not long enough to cause a bleed.

Okay thanks. I always started the first
day and this really threw me off. =]

If you are worried, go to the Dollar Store
& get a test for $1....They actually
have the BEST! Go to "peeonastick.com" and
she has all the test there to see who is
best. The cheap ones from there detect a
VERY low ammount of hormone.
