A member asked:
I started on yaz birth control on the 28 april and this month after a week my periods ended i have been getting brown spotting and sometimes light red?

Spotting on OCP: This is very normal. It is common to have a day of brown to red spotting at the end of your periods and this can happen on or off of oral contraceptive pills (OCPs).
