Been using a birth control pill for a month and had brown bleeding which is not normal for me for 3-4 days my urine p-test was negative. am i pregnant?

Probably not: On the pill, one of the most common complaints is breakthrough bleeding. This can make its way out as a brownish discharge. Take another test in a couple of weeks to be sure and try not to worry. If this persists, then talk to your doctor about a different pill.
