What Causes Brown Vaginal Discharge Inspite Of Taking Micronor?

Hi, for just over a week now I ve been having brown vaginal discharge. I was on Feanolla for 3 and a half months without any problems with this and I had fairly regular periods. The brown discharge started a week before my period was due (I know it s rare for periods to continue to be regular on the pill) and just hasn t stopped. A week after this started I went to the doctors, I know I m not pregnant and don t have an infection, the doctor changed my pill to Micronor (norethisterone) on Friday, I ve been taking this pill for 3 days now, I know that s not long but I m getting paranoid this brown discharge won t stop and I m stressed because I want to be able to have sex with my boyfriend and it s making me self conscious and embarrassed. Basically I just want to know if this is all normal and if the change of pill might help this stop? Thanks for any help.

Hello,

The brown vaginal discharge is related to hormone changes via Fianella which contains Desogestrel, known for changes in the cervical mucus consistency to prevent pregnancy via sperm entry into vagina. The change of molecule will vanish its effects over a period of 5-7 working days and hence just wait for this period to get best position for restarting your sex activity with your boyfriend.

Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
