    Brown discharge when period should have been
    I was on the birth control pill for about 2 1/2 years, but my doctor's office was late calling it in, so last month I was not on it. Had sex using pull out method. Thought my period came last Sunday, but have only had a brown discharge with very tiny clots occasionally, lasting a week and a day now. I did start taking the pill again last Sunday when I first spotted blood, but my period has been so light, what could this be?

    It could just be that your body is a little off schedule from missing a month of the pill. Not uncommon at all. However, the pull out method should NEVER be used as a form of because, and it is not at all reliable. So you very well could be pregnant. I would take a pregnancy test, just to be sure that you aren't preggy(esp if you are taking the pill again) having a chat about it with your ob/gyn couldn't hurt either. Good luck!

    Took hpt today, negative, starting to finally bleed, must have just been real slow to start because of the pill. Thanks again.

    OK, well at least you know for sure now. The birth control pills tend to set your cycle off a bit if you miss some, or a whole month. Good luck in your future endeavours
