I'm very worried. I started taking
Loestrin 24 one month ago. I am now on
the sugar pills and I got my period
yesterday (sugar pill day 1). It was a
dark red almost brown, not heavy at all.
This morning it was the same. I just went
to the bathroom (first time in 4 hours)
and I notice the blood on my pad was
completely black (not like a blood clot
texture either) just very dry and very
dark. Not to be graphic or anything, but
it looked like poop. When I wiped it was
a dark red/brown color, but I'm worried as
to why it was that dark on my pad. Please
answer and once again sorry for the gross
factor here.

also I should probably add that I am
definitely not pregnant. My boyfriend and
I had sex for the first time 3 months ago,
I did not get pregnant, and then decided
to take the birth control for future use.
I have not had sex since.

Unless you have other signs of an
infection (pain, foul smell even with your
clothes on, etc) I wouldn't worry. It's
probably just dried up blood tissue.
When you're first on the pill it might
take a couple of months for your cycle to
be normal. Also, loestrin is known to
decrease your period. Don't be surprised
if you get really light periods for a
while and/or spotting in between.
