A member asked:
So im having this brown discharge and my period is 3 days late and im on birth control?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
It's a period: The brown discharge may be blood and this may be your period. Did you miss any pills from your last pack? Were you on any antibiotics during the last pack? If not, then you are probably having your period but it is light at this point. See how the next few days go. If you are concerned, take a HPT.
