brown discharge before period on birth control

Since you just recently started birth control, having brown discharge is completely normal. It;s just a side effect of the birth control. It happens because your body is trying to get used to being on birth control. It's also normal right before a period - so could be possible your period is about to arrive early. Which could also be down to the birth control.

Can stopping the birth control give you brown discharge of 8 days? and a delayed period?. i have always taken my pills, active and inactive pills every month... but now stopped it the birth control... i have a delayed period... at least 29 to 31 days sincle last brown discharge from the 2nd to the 8th-10th of July... i have regular periods after 21 to 23 days...

I'm on birth control and i suddenly have brown discharge 2 weeks before my period. I had sex a little over 2 weeks ago w/ a condom and he did not finish in me. when i saw the discharge, took a test and confirmed i am not pregnant. I started getting the discharge on Sunday. I got my cartilage pierced 1 week before that and it didn't hurt until sunday as well. i also developed a cyst behind my ear (still on head and not on ear) . help! Thanks.

The blood varies from red to brown. I did notice more acne on my face also. Is this just my period but 2 weeks earlier? I stopped bleeding now and now it's just brown discharge. I'm very worried since I'm only 17. Thank you for your help!

( I know,not very effective) Anyways, I was due to get my period on Sunday, October 11th, but I started getting brown discharge on the 9th, I did get my real period on sunday, and it was normal but after my period had ended I started getting the brown discharge again. Ive only been on birth control for two months, so I was thinking maybe its from that? Im extremely stressed out over this!! Any help anyone could give me would be greatly appreciated!! Thanks!

No, before I started birth control I never had this problem. Maybe a little bit a few days after my period but not for a full week before my period. Also, I missed a few pills for this month. Do you think this could be happening because of that?

is it wierd to have a brown discharge the week before your period?

Are you on birth control of any sort?

My breast and nipples were so tender the whole time I was on BC, the brown discharge after intercourse could have been your period coming back. I remember it took me forever to get regulated once I got off and I definitely remember the brown spotting from time to time.

I started my period when I was very young and was irregular for years before I got on birth control. It was the best decision I ever made. Not only did it regulate me but I would also know when I would have my period so I could plan activities around it. I would not be worried about the discharge unless they are unusually smelly or have puss or anything puss like about them.

The brown discharge is most likely old blood that took awhile to come out. I get that sometimes. And it's perfectly normal for birth control to affect your body differently after you have a baby. Before I had my first, I was on seasonique and after about 2 years I stayed bleeding through it and had to switch. After she was born, we tried it again and it worked perfectly. It's possible that you don't need as high of a dosage anymore, OR that birth control just isn't right for you.

The only time i have had any brown discharge is when my period is ending..it is probably from your birth control and your period cycle may be changing..

Hi all. I'm 17 years old and I've been on birth control for a little more than a year and a half. I've had brown discharge before but not the week before my period, but during my ovulation. I'm a little confused as to what this means because it's never happened to me before and if I should go see a doctor about it. As of right now, it seems that the discharge is slowing or stopping I can't figure out which one at this point in time.

Hi. I'm 19 years old. Today I went to the bathroom and saw there was spotting in my underwear. At first I thought I was starting my period but then I looked closer and saw it was a dark drown. This has never happened before. I have not had sex in a while. I've tried researching this and it wasn't much help. I am on birth control but this has never happened before. I don't mean to overreact but I have cancer in my family and was told I may be of high risk.

I had brown discharge for 5 days before my last period...I had a normal period. It came when it was souppose to and lasted the usual length. The brown discharge was kinda heavy and very dark. My next period is due in 15 days. I had protected sex a few weeks before this happened,and had protected sex 2 nights prior to the brown discharge starting. After the last time I had sex I took 2 of my birth control pills that I had missed,I didn't know if that could have messed up my hormonal balances?

As you will see below my period comes every month, but twice every other month. I have never experience this on other birth control pills (period were once a month) 2/5 to 2/10 3/2 to 3/5 3/9 to 3/12 4/6 to 4/9 5/5 to 5/8 5/24 to 5/28 6/1 to 6/6 7/1 to 7/6 My concern is I had unprotected sex with boyfriend yesterday and this morning I had a lot of discharge, not smelly, yet thick and stretchy. We always have unprotected sex, he loves cumming inside.

i have went off of it and my period has not come back on its own. They put me on a birth control pill to hopefully make my period start. Before that they had me on a 14 day pill that was suppose to make you start but it never did and i did two sets of the 14 days. I just started my birth control pill yesterday but for about two or three days now i have had really dark discharge and lately its been chunky.

I had a longer period than normal about 6 days and i started my next pack of birth control while on my period cause the other one had finished. The last day of my period i got these brown gooey clumps when i pee coming from my vagina everytime i peed. Its a week later now and every so often when i wipe i get that brown gooey discharge.

Hello, I am on birth control, I had sex May 27 then got my period on June 1st, it was regular & on time. I had a pap biopsy on June 13 and bled from that from the 13th-24th. I was on vacation during this time and forgot to take my birth control at exact times but did take it as soon as I remembered. I then had sex on July 1, he pulled out. I got my period on time July 6 but it was a little shorter than usual.

Today I got a bit of brown discharge in my panty and I’ve been noticing flakes of red in my urine and I was curious as to if this was normal? (I usually get the discharge before my period and after but I’ve been on birth control for approximately 3 months -the pill- and I’ve been told it is supposed to affect me differently at the beginning and I just recently had sex a week ago, could I possibly be pregnant?) Or what could this mean?

i have brown discharge with cramping one week before period, I am on birth control and my cycle is regular always.

I am supposed to get my period soon since I got in on the 26th of March. Yesterday (Sunday) I had brown discharge only once after I went to the bathroom. I think last time I had my period I also had brown discharge before I got my period but I'm not positive. Saturday my boyfriend and I were grinding with no clothes but did not have sex and he did not ejaculate at all and I have not participated in other sexual activities this month besides that.
