spotting on the pill

Dominique
hey ladies! i just started taking the pill again after THREE years of being off it. 
i started two weeks ago and i can't remember how my body reacted the last time i took it. 
i've been having a deeeeeep brown, kinda thick discharge. is this normal for any other ladies?? 
kinda getting cramps too. 
i hope y'all have a beautiful day! 
and remember you are loved even by a stranger from Oregon who only knows you through a <a href="https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.glow.android.eve">period app</a> lol. 😋💋
