A member asked:
I'm not sure if it's brown discharge or if it's from an old period. i'm suppose to be getting my period next week. what could it be?

Pills: It most probably due to your birth control pills. We call it breakthrough bleeding. If it persist you should probably ask you doctor to change your birth control pills. The other possibility is pregnancy if you were not taking your birth control as you were supposed to.
