Hey, I'm taking Sprintec and have been taking it for about 6 months now. I am still on my actual birth control pills and should be starting my placebo pills next week. Night before last I started having a thick brown discharge which is what I'm assuming to be blood. It isn't heavy, just thick and stringyish. I'm still having it. I read it can be your period starting early, but isn't that somewhat impossible or highly unlikely since I am still on my birth control and not the placebo yet? I don't know what's going on and don't know if I'm just being paranoid or if it actually is abnormal, since its never happened to me before. My periods have always been typical and normal so I don't know what it is. Any help would be much appreciated!
