Had Unprotected Sex. On Ortho Evra Patch. Brown Discharge

I m 19. I ve been sexually active for a little while now. I was on the birth control pill Apri, started having bad side effects, so my doctor switched me to the Ortho Evra patch. The day I stated it, my boyfriend and I had sex, once we were done and he pulled out, there was a brown slime of sorts on him. Both of us were very confused. Any body know why that might have been? *I also have noticed red-brown discharge just from me.

Hello.
Thanks for writing to us.
The mild reddish brown discharge is a normal finding once you switch the contraceptives. This is likely to subside spontaneously in next few days without any treatment. Please do not worry and wait for it to go off.
