Birth Control/Dark Brown Discharge

Expert: - 12/12/2010


Question
I just started having a dark brown discharge 10 day after my
period ended. I am on the pill and was an hour late taking it
yesterday. I have also had unprotected sex several times since
my period has ended. Does the discharge just have to do with
taking the pill late?

Answer
Amanda,

I'm not sure how to advise you. I would recommend that you consult your regular doctor and mention the scenarios.

A doctor should be able to tell you why you are having these problems. I would also advise you to consider not having sex right now unless you want to have a baby. Every time you have "protected" sex or unprotected sex, you risk pregnancy.

Please email me at CHERYL51@aol.com and we can talk more. Bye for now!
