                                    Brief Answer:
Can be due to withdrawal bleeding.
Detailed Answer:
Hello,
Thanks for trusting us with your health concern.
The mild pinkish discharge can be due to withdrawal bleeding after stopping levlen. You need to have unprotected sex during the fertile days of your cycle to conceive. It can take 1-2 months for your normal ovulation to return after stopping levlen.
Please feel free to discuss further. I will be glad to answer the follow up queries that you have.
Wishing you good health.
Regards.
