hello im 18 years old and its my first time on birth control. ive been on it for about 11 days now. the dr had told me to start the patch the day i got my period and i did so. but my pirod has been done for 3 now but im having a brown discharge/spotting. i have never had this problem before i was on birth control. if anyone has had the same problem like mine, will the discharge stop if i stay on the patch and ride it out, or should i stop useing the patch? i find this frustrating cause i am sexually active with my boyfriend and i would rather not be spotting. it will make having sex embaressing and awkward for me.
