Hey, I am getting a brown discharge from my vagina and I have been
for a week now. My period is not for another ten days so I'm worried.
I had sex on the second last day of my last period with no
protection even though I am on birth control.
Should I take a pregnancy test or what?

And I know I don't have and STD or anything because
I got checked recently and the tests came out good.

hey
when i first started on my birth control about a month into it a started getting brown discharge...kinda of like really light bleeding.
i had it for about a month...sometimes it just happens because your body is adjusting to the pill....
you should wait for your withdrawal bleed on the pill....and after that if your still worried just take a pregnancy test

Smile

hope i could help, let me know how it pans out!
