A member asked:
I recently started a new birth control but my period is 4 days late . this morning i had light pink then brown stringy discharge. what does it mean?

Period?: This could be your stood. You can expect it to be different on the new contraceptive and, especially if it is a pill, your period won't usually start the day after the last active pill. Pills do make periods shorter and lighter as do most contraceptives.
