Got my period 2 weeks ago then switched from diane 35 to lo loestrin, have been bleeding (brown-black) for a week! what's wrong ?!

Probably nothing: ~30% of women will have irregular bleeding when starting a new birth control pill. Stick with it through 3 cycles. If bleeding is still abnormal , contact a healthcare professional.
