A member asked:
What does it mean when you're on birth control and you are supposed to have your period, yet the period is very dark brown and not much is coming out?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Normal: Periods tend to be lighter on the birth control pill, in which case the flow will tend to be darker as well.
