A member asked:
I am now 3 months late on the birth control pills all i have had is brown spotting lasting 4 days neg hpt what's going on?

Light period on OCP: If you have not missed any pills and have taken them on time there is really not anything to worry about. The brown light spotting that you had is "the period" associated with the pills you are taking and your body.
