On bcp. 2 light periods 2 weeks apart-light brown stringy w/some red. yesterday- wave of nausea. diarrhea, no appetite, ab pain for couple days. why?

Breakthrough bleed: Sounds like breakthrough bleeding which occurs when you have bleeding at unscheduled times while on the pill. Often things get back to normal the next cycle. If not then schedule a visit to discuss changing brands or changing birth control methods. This is very common. Other than being annoying it is not dangerous.
