A member asked:
I have been on birth control for 3 months and my 1st period was normal but the 2nd and 3rd were just brown blood with cramps and i'm not pregnant. ?

Sounds normal : Brown just means old blood. Sounds like what one would expect. Ibuprofen is also good for cramps. Periods are often lighter and shorter on birth control.
