Dark brown vaginal discharge
I am 31 and taking BC pills. My dr has said that I can take my pills consecutively up to 3 months and only have a period once every three months. I have been doing this since last spring with no problems. However, I started another 3 month cycle about 6 weeks ago and then about 10 days ago I started spotting (red) and had what seemed to be a period (it became came regular for a few days). I had stopped bleeding/spotting by Friday. Sunday morning when I came out of the shower (had only been up for about 15 minutes), I had a heavy red bloody discharge. It quickly stopped and became a heavy dark brown, almost black discharge. It has been heavier than spotting, about as heavy as a light period. I am wondering what could be causing this and whether I should be checked out by a dr. BTW, I am married and usually sexually active, but we haven't been active for over a week due to the bleeding and now the discharge. Please help!
