A member asked:

I just started a new birth control and the first week is normal along with the third and fourth. it the second week i have a dark brown discharge.

A doctor has provided 1 answer

It should go away: Irregular bleeding when first starting the pill is relatively common. I encourage my patients to stay with any new pill for 3 cycles before changing to a different pill. If you cannot stand the irregular bleeding, the next step would be to use a pill which contains more estrogen than the one you are currently using. That change may or may not help in the short term and but should help long term.
