What Causes Brownish Vaginal Discharge While On Birth Control?
hello, I have been on birth control since December now and was experiencing spotting and breakthrough bleeding the first few months. it is now May and my period was due for Saturday (yesterday) and I started having bloody/browish discharge on Wednesday. I didn t get a real period and I m nervous. I take my birth control at the same time everyday and it was regulated for about 3 months, am I pregnant?
