Hi ! Birth control means are not a hundred percent guarantee against conception. May be you conceived inbetween and also aborted without your knowledge which was probably incomplete. Now the brownish discharge what you are getting could be the after effects with some retained parts with resultant pains due the contraction of the uterus being irritated by the retained parts. I would suggest you to show yourself to a gynaecologist who after clinical examination may advise you for a urine pregnancy test, ba serum HCG, and an ultrasound abdomen to know the exact status to proceed further.
I wish you an early recovery. Thanks.
