Stopping continuous birth control pills for period.. brown discharge and spotting on week off? normal?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes: If you stop continuous birth control pills, you will have a withdrawal bleed and may experience a full 'period ' or spotting. The effect is similar to taking the placebo week in a pill pack.
