A member asked:

I am on pill and having brown blood does that mean i m pregnant?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Not necessarily: If you are taking the pill every day around the same time each day there is a low probability you are pregnant. You may have break through bleeding esp if you missed a pill. If you are on the placebo week of your pills it could be your period.
