A member asked:
Just started my birth control an it's been two weeks but i missed 3 days. i have brown/tar like discharge then blood. what could it be?

Withdrawal bleeding: This type of bleeding is a consequence of missing pills. It also renders the birth control ineffective. So please use a backup method, usually condoms. You can continue the pills and the bleeding will stop unless you skip pills again. If you have difficulty with the pill, consider nuvaring, it is much easier. You place it in your vagana, and it remains there for 4 weeks, remove it for 4 days, rpt.
