I'm finishing up my first pack of Femcon
Fe and for the last two weeks or so I've
been getting a brown discharge. At the
beginning of my placebo pills, I got
cramps for a few hours and got a little
bit heavier of this brown discharge. I'm
guessing it's aged blood?
Is this normal?

Yes, brown spotting is normal.

Well, should I be at all worried that I
didn't get like red period blood or
whatever?
My boyfriend and I are slightly worried
about the fact that I didn't get a normal
period
This is supposed to clear up after a few
months as my body adjusts, right?
PS 1 YEAR AND 5 MONTHS today

Discharge can occur no matter how long you
have been on a pill.
I don't believe that discharge is a sign
of pregnancy, so I don't know what else
you'd be afraid of.
If the whole placebo week is gone and you
never got a period, then I suppose you
could buy a pregnancy test. That's really
all you can do.

Considering it's your first pack I
wouldn't be surprised at any discharge or
weird period business.
It will clear up and your body will adjust
so that you have your period on the
placebo week like you are supposed to.
If you are concerned, you can always take
a test, they are cheap.
