A member asked:
Im currently on my 2nd month of junel fe birth control on 4th day of placebo pill and started getting brown spotting (light) is this normal?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes. The brown pills allow what is called withdrawal bleeding which will typically start after 2 or 3 days. Since this bleeding is artificially induced it will tend to be lighter than your usual period. Blood turns brown over time so very light, slow bleeding will trend to that color.
