A member asked:

I'm currently taking bc and my period was to start today. instead i noticed brown spotting then small amount of bleeding and now pink when i wipe only?

Color: changes depending to the speed of the bleeding also if the period is heavy or light. Your spotting today can change to regular period in the coming days.
