A member asked:
My period is a week early and very dark brown. i am on birth control, but could this be a sign of implantation?

No such thing: Pregnancy happens less than 1% of the time when you are taking your birth control appropriately. There is no such thing as implantation bleeding. Dark brown blood means old blood and this is often seen when the uterus needs to shed deeper or older lining and tissue.

Probably not : a home pregnancy test would give an answer
