A member asked:
I've been on birth control for almost 2 months. my period on the medicine has been like dark brown/black blood. is that normal?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Probably normal: Most bcp lighten the period so you only get a minimal period with darker older blood. Also use condoms as a backup measure and to try to prevent std's.
