Birth Control/Brown blood.

Question
The last two days I have found myself bleeding brown blood. My period was two
weeks ago, and so I have been worried about it. I have recently started taken
sprintec or ortho tri cyclen because my OGBYN thinks I have endometriosis. I am
now at college and don't have access to the OGBYN at the moment, is this
something I should be worried about?

Answer
I think you're having breakthrough bleeding, which is common the first few months on the pill.  Most likely it will take care of itself with time.  I wouldn't worry.  If it persists into next month, talk to your doctor about possibly switching to a different pill.
