A member asked:

I've been on birth control (pill, 21 day cycle) for over a year, i'm on my second week and have experienced a kind of brown discharge?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Not unusual: This is referred to as breakthrough bleeding and is relatively common. It could be triggered by inconsistency in taking the pills or by taking various medications, principally antibiotics, or it can simply occur randomly. Don't be concerned if it now persists until you start your next pack of pills.
