Hello ma'am and welcome.

The cause for such a discharge is usually a hormonal imbalance and is temporary, not requiring any form of correction.

Other causes are during the beginning or end of a period, infections, miscarriage, etc. But in your case a hormonal imbalance is most plausible as you are on the microgynon.

Hope this helps.

Best wishes.
