What Causes Brownish Discharge After Taking Birth Control Pills?
hello. i recently started on birth control, and im on my 4th and final week of my pack. it said spotting was a side effect, but im not sure to which extent isnt spotting. also, some discharge has been a slight brownish reddish color, is that a symptom of pregnancy? i ve been very bloated on and off and my boyfriend and i have had unprotected sex 10+ times since i started this birth control, he has pulled out every time. although there have been a few times where his cum has gotten near my vaginal opening.

Hi, if you have started the final week, you will get your periods in few days. Brown discharge can be a sign of coming menstruation. If you have taken the pills regularly, no need to worry about pregnancy. Wait for the periods. Hope I have answered your question.
