A member asked:
I have my period every 6 months. take my pill @ the same time. yesterday i was cramping & woke up and had brown slimy discharge? what does that mean?

Breakthrough bleeding.: This is likely breakthrough bleeding. With low-dose birth-control pills, the lining of the uterus may become unstable and you will have some bleeding. It does not affect the contraceptive aspect of the pill, so do NOT stop taking them.
