A member asked:

On mini pill (micronor) for 10 mos now. 3 mos ago got period 4 x in 2 mos.( every other wk) last mo. was really light. now light brown period for 3day?

Might be normal: I would check a pregnancy test, but it sounds like a normal side effect of the pill. Cycles can be very irregular. If you are seeking regularity and there are no contraindications a BCP containing estrogens might be an option for you
