A member asked:
I recently started birth control two months ago. finished my period a week ago but i'm still spotting brown?

Breakthrough bleed: Sounds like breakthrough bleeding which occurs when you have bleeding at unscheduled times while on the pill. Brown is simply old blood that has been sitting at the back of the vagina. Often things get back to normal the next cycle. If not then schedule a visit to discuss cycle regulating birth control methods. This is very common. Other than being annoying it is not dangerous.
