I have been on ortho tricyclen for a little over 4 years. I love it, and have never had a problem with it. I take my pill at the same time everyday. Today, I noticed that when I go to the bathroom and wipe, I have a little bit of brown looking discharge. I have never noticed this before. It isn't heavy, it isn't in my underwear, just when I wipe! Anyway, I am still on my active pills, and I start my sugar pills on sunday, however my period usually starts on wednesday. What do you guys think would be causing this?

Can Someone Answer This???

Now, I seem to have started my period (sunday)! I don't usually start until wed. Has anyone else had this happen to them? I have done this one other time. A few months ago, I started on a friday, and when I asked my doc, she said as long as you start during your placebos, you are fine..It's just when you start on your active pills, it can be an indication something is wrong. I haven't missed any pills, and they have all been taken at the same time. Can anyone explain what could cause this?
