A member asked:

Switched bc pills and had protected sex. it's 2 weeks later and my period is in 5 days but i noticed a little brown in my discharge. early period?

Probably: Changing your pill may lead to some breakthrough bleeding or change in your cycle especially that first month. It never hurts to check a pregnancy test though just to be certain. However, you did the right thing by using a condom back up.
