A member asked:

I'm on birthcontrol. and i had pink discharge that turned brown and then red and then my period started. is this normal.? could i be pregnant.?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Could be: This could be "normal" or acceptable especially if your menses continues to be what you are use to having. If anything more unusual about your menses then check a home pregnancy test which are very accurate.
