Early slow bleeding: Most likely your uterine lining is too thick or too fragile, both will cause early or irregular bleeding. When the bleeding is slow.The blood breaks down and turns brown. If you are not pregnant, and it keeps happening ask your doc about changing to a different birth control pill.
