On my second pack of birth control (new brand) and instead of getting my period i just got brown discharge for a couple of days what does this mean?

It is old blood: mixed with vaginal and cervical secretions. Please keep a menstrual diary noting start (S), end (E) light ( L) heavy (H) and color ( describe) this will be helpful to both you and your GYN. The pills can cause the change .
