Experiencing pink/brown discharge and spots of blood (only when wiping) during and after taking antibiotics while on birth control pills. normal?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Breakthrough bleed: Breakthrough bleeding (bleeding at the wrong time) is very common 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.
