A member asked:
On birth control and this month period came 1 wk early on the pill and still continues to bleed lightly and it is a brownish color now. what is that?

Happens: I assume you took all your pills about the same time every day...if so, this is a normal variation of artificial cycles. The brownishness represents old blood.
