I'm on my third month of alesse birth control and i am experiencing brown discharge (thats lasting about 2-3 days right now) just 6-7 days before my period. what does that mean?

Breakthrough bleed: Breakthrough bleeding is when someone bleeds at the wrong time while on birth control. Since the bleeding is unpredictable it can occur at any time. It usually resolves on its own and does not mean something is wrong with the birth control
