A member asked:

I am on sprintec birth control pills for over a year. i am 2 days before i am supposed to start my white pills and i am having light brown discharge with no cramps and no other symptoms. i am sexually active and lift weights more often. no skip pills?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Using low dose combination bcp's like "Sprintec" can produce breakthrough bleeding ("light brown discharge") prior to the expected bleeding while taking the week of placebos by not maintaining daily the "active pill" within the hour of the preceding day's active pill. Just attempt to maintain a relatively rigorous schedule while on the active pills, which will minimize the "brown discharge"event.
