Brown discharge may: Be related to use of emergency contraception. Brown discharge is often older, deoxygenated blood being cleaned from the uterus. Potential side effects w emergency contraception include menstrual flow changes (spotting, bleeding, early or late period). Take pregnancy test ; notify dr if your period is 7 or > days late.
