I am 19. I haven't been on birth control in 6 months. Me and my boyfriend don't use condoms. We use the pull out method though. (not that I think it works) It's a week before my period and I am having a brown discharge and slight cramps! I also have HPV. What do you think is wrong with me?

Brown discharge can be due to a number of reasons. It can be from left over blood or from the birth control pill.

The pull method shouldn't be used because even though your on the pill it it doesn't 100% protect you from getting pregnant. You can get pregnant off precum.

The only thing I can suggest is to talk to your doctor but I've had brown discharge in the past.
