Have Dark Brown Discharge A Week Before Periods. On Birth Control Pills. Had Sex. Pregnancy?

I've been having dark brown discharge about a week before my period. I am on birth control, I take the pills. Sometimes I take it a couple hours later than I should and I sex with my boyfriend. I had sex with my boyfriend when I was supposed to start my period in May but it never came because I spotted in the middle and had switched birth controls. I then had sex with him again but when I was on the pill on the 15th and he did NOT cum inside of me. Could I be pregnant?

hello,

Here, you need to undergo one blood test for beta-hCG and TVS scan (around 4 weeks from LMP) to rule out implantation bleeding. Other reasons are pelvic/ vaginal infection, old endometrial tissue, hormonal imbalance (with effect of the pill), uterine pathology etc.

Following initial test reports, you consult with gynecologist to proceed next line investigation after clinical examination. Take suggestive measures accordingly.

Maintain genital hygiene properly. Take healthy diet with folic acid supplement.

Good luck.
