I was suppose to come in my period on nov 9th but instead i started brown discharge on the 10th which is still here today.. i take birth control also?

Brown dscg is period: The brown discharge is old blood, and instead of a full period, you are just spotting, which is not uncommon with some types of birth control. Continue the birth control as prescribed, and you should be fine.
