Haven't taken birth control pill for 2days i don't want to take it anymore i don't like the side effects. having brown discharge what does this mean?

Withdrawal bleed: If you stop the birth control then you will trigger a menstrual cycle. The brown discharge is likely old blood as one would expect. Consider a different birth control method if you are sexually active
