A member asked:
In week of period, have had some light spotting (normal, if i get anything, since on microgestin). stringy brown discharge today- any ideas what it is?

May be normal: Sometimes you can have dark brownish discharge instead of spotting due to being on the hormone. This may vary cycle to cycle. If you have persistent discharge between periods, or any pain or fever, see your doctor. Good luck!
