On the pill, take it the same time every day. "period" came on time - but it's just been dark brown blood that turned to red for half a day. pregnant?

Not likely: If you have been compliant with taking your birth control pills, and period came on time, then it is extremely unlikely that you are pregnant. Dark brown blood just indicates that it is old, probably from sitting in your vagina, because you don't have heavy flow. I would not be concerned, unless bleeding becomes excessive or last longer than 8 days. Take Care!
