Is it normal to get dark brown period blood after starting a new birth control?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Changes can occur: Most people will notice a change in their menstrual bleeding when starting an ocp, or when changing to a new bcp. Dark brown period is within the normal range of effects on the menstrual periods. If it bothers you, you could see about changing to a different pill.
