i have been on birth control for over a year and i started 2 days ago on schedule. my period was light and i just stopped today, i am freaking out, whats going on?? i have never had this happen before, i am worried that it could be pregnancy or another large issue. plz help!
also, when i started it was a brownish color, normally when i start its a bit that way, but i put in a tampon right away, so im not sure how long the dark coloring lasted, it may have lasted the whole time.......

Could just be a light period-- if you are worried about pregnancy then take a pregnancy test.

The brown is normal when you're on birth control pills.
