Is it normal to have dark colored periods while on bcp?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Ocp dark blood: It is perfectly normal to have dark colored, or old blood while on the birth control pill. One of the pill's non-contaceptive benefits include a lighter period which is correlated with darker old blood.
