A member asked:
I've been having a light brown discharge for 3 days now, i'm 13 pills into my pack of cilest. i've never had this before, should i be worried?

Breakthrough bleed: Breakthrough bleeding (bleeding at the wrong time) is very normal on birth control. It happens in about 1/3 of users. Its no big deal and usually self corrects over time. If you are not satisfied or it continues to happen then consider using a different birth control method. It is a common side effect and does not mean something is wrong or that the pill is not working.
