Hi, i ve been getting this light brown to dark spotting for the last four days i ve been on the pill for 10 months 2 months ago i changed pills to a stronger one. the spotting is light not much pain sometimes period like cramping, my period is due in 4 days. Sometimes theres string like stretchy brown stuff with discharge, i have been tested for any STDs and my results are normal so its not that. Just not sure what it could be?

Hello,
I think you should get further evaluated. You may need to do a vaginal smear and a pap smear and also a colposcopy to check for infection viral or bacterial.
If these tests come out negative you may need to do an ultrasound to check endometrial lining.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
