A member asked:
Dark brown bleeding 1 week after period ended. doesn't usually happen, on bcp, use protection when having sex. what could be the cause of this?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Breakthrough bleedin: This may occur and indicate the need to change brands of OC. Skipped pills or the use of additional medications can cause bleeding to occur. Infections and cervical masses can cause this. I am glad you are using backup protection!! See physician if bleeding recurs.
