A member asked:
Quit birth control 6 months ago, still not regular, had a few periods, now spotting (very light brown, discharge) constantly for 3 weeks. no period?

Well, the period: Was not damaged by the pill. The most likely scenario is irregular ovulation and the pill was managing your irregular bleeding. It's not the end of the world. Look up polycystic ovarian syndrome, see if that fits, see doc. Gd luck, don't hit panic button.
