Brownish??

Question

Started my first Birth control pill today at 9:00am. I am not having some brownish spotting? My period ended yesterday. Why is it brown?

Answer

It is oxidized menstrual blood. You should expect irregular bleeding for about three months.

Answer

I use Ortho Tri-Cyclen Lo and mine did that for a while. About three months. It's nothing abnormal.

Answer

It's commonly called 'breakthrough bleeding.' It is totally normal and you have no need for concern. Just make sure you're not skipping days and it will go away after a month or two.

Answer

My spotting is always brownish, even when I started my first period at 13 years old.
