Brown Discharge. On Marvelon Pill. History Of Forgetting Intake Of Pill Followed By Intake Of 2 Pills The Next Day. Thoughts?
Hi, I'm writing on behalf of my girlfriend, she's on holiday atm. She's just texted asking if I can help with something. She's on Marvelon (contraceptive pill) and for the past couple days has found a brown discharge. She's in the middle of her course of pills, but forgot to take one of the pills one night, taking it the next morning and continuing as usual. What could be the cause of the discharge?

Hello,
Brown discharge is mostly due to implantation bleeding. Other reasons are old endometrial tissue, pelvic infection, stress, hormonal imbalance etc. However, she must confirm her pregnancy through home pregnancy test after missed period or around due date.
