Okay so ive noticed that, everyone on birth control gets this brown discharge... I have it. Ive been on b/c for about 2 almost 3 months now, and for about two weeks ive been having this really really dark brown discharge, and its grossss.
I do have unprotected sex, and well, ive been having stomach pains too (been pregnant before!) and kinda worried I might be pregnant again.
I took my "red" pill today, triggering my period.. And still no period at all.
Pregnancy??

Maybe you should go to the doctor.

I have had the pinkish red on the tissue before, and usually when I get it I start my period with the next 24 hours so you could have your period by tomorrow?!

Good luck :)

The pill can cause break thru bleeding (the old brown blood) and spotting between your periods. It isn't cause for alarm.

Sometimes it can take up to 4 days for you to start your period when you take the sugar pills.
