A member asked:
I began taking seasonique 5 weeks ago. on week 4 i began to have brownish spotting. i just started week 6 and it's still here. why is this?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Spotting is normal: Some amount of spotting is very common when women take oral contraceptive pills continuously. There can be breakthrough bleeding at any time, and the brown spotting is just from a bit of menstrual flow that comes out so slowly it turns brown.
