Short 2-3 day period on birth control followed by brown discharge. pregnant??

Not likely: If you are taking birth control pills properly and are not currently taking other medications that could interfere with their effectiveness, such as certain antibiotics, then it is not likely you are pregnant. Oral contraceptive pills not only prevent pregnancy, but they can also shorten the duration of your period and lessen bleeding.
