So, I started birth control (Levora) in November. I skipped periods on it, but since I was home in December/January I didn't skip, and went to the sugar pills. I had my period during the 1st week of January. Levora was great, didn't have any unusual bleeding or anything, but it made me break out so my doctor switched me to Trisprintec. I started the new BC the week of February 7th (a week after I was supposed to have my "February" period). The next week, Feb 14th, I started having cramps and brown discharge with pinkish/reddish blood. It was just brown with a tiny bit of blood, and it was only enough to ever filll up about 1/3 of a pantyliner. However, sometimes, there will be tiny "gushes" of blood, and I think I'm getting my period, so I'll put in a tampon. Take the tampon out, it's just more brown discharge. This has been going on for 2 weeks!! What does this mean? I've gotten the brown discharge before but it's never lasted this long.

I'm scheduled to get my period the week of the 28th. I've already talked to my doctor, and she said this was normal since my body is adjusting to hormones, but I've also looked at other forums and this could be a sign of pregnancy? My boyfriend and I don't use condoms - just birth control.

Has this happened to anyone else?

do you normally get a brownish coloured blood near the end of your period? It could be the same kind of blood. I'm no doctor but i would guess this is what it is.

its happened to me as well.Because your body is introduced to hormones artificially you can have break through bleeding. My doctor gave me ovrals and took only the white pills for 21 days and it was gone but not completely. It stopped after a while.
