So can the brown discharge also be from forgetting to take your pull the past 2 days.. I had unprotected sex 3 days ago, on movember 2. I forgot to take my pill on November 3rd.. & now I have this brown reddish discharge. I have no other symptoms to pregnancy besides a headache I had yesterday. I feel fine.. So idk

I am ALSO 21 and I'm taking Ortho Tri Cyclen Lo as well and I have been for 3 years now, while I haven't spotted or anything like that and I've had my period as scheduled every month, recently it's been different. It's still on time, but for the past 2 months my period blood has been a thick dark brown discharge and the period itself lasts for maybe 3 days. I haven't seen red blood in 2 months and it's starting to worry me. Do I need to see a gyno?what's going on with me?

Hello!
So! To answer your questions:
I went to see my GP literally a few hours ago, as I was on Yazmin for about 5 years, then changed to a lighter pill (Yas) and also started to notice this strange brown discharge. But free of pain/discomfort/itching. Nor does it smell. To me, it just looked like old blood. But it kept coming back.
My instinct told me that the new pill wasn't "strong" enough in it's hormone dosage for my body. Basically I figured I needed a stronger pill (as in, Yasmin). Also, my skin started to break out a tiny bit on my forehead. Which never happened once with Yasmin.
The doctor told me that he's had many patients return to him due to the fact that they started taking a lighter pill and experienced this discharge.
He basically said that if it was happening as I started taking the pill, it's just adjustment. But seeing as it's about 2 months in, it seems like I was right about it not being strong enough.
So now I am back on Yasmin. As of tomorrow.
The only question in my mind is this:
My boyfriend is coming back from his overseas trip on Sunday and we'll finally be able to have sex again. Do we use a condom?
I mean... I have been on BC pills for a month now, but they were supposedly not strong enough. And I'll have been on the stronger pill for 2 days by Sunday.
Don't know if I should take the risk. We both hate wearing a condom.

I also have brown discharge on bc and have been on Yasmin for 4 years and take it religiously at the same time. I have twingy pains with it. I am on the last week of the active pills before the inactive ones and so worried what this is.

i'm having the same issue!! i'm on a completely different pill, Sprintec 28, and i am having thick dark brown, almost black discharge?? i am extremely worried because i'm supposed to be having my period and this has been going on for a few days. i am going to see my gyno this upcoming week but i need to reassure myself now because i am definitely freaking myself out with googling symptoms. especially bc i had issues with bacterial infections with my las pill... someone help!!

Okay so I'm not expert, but based on what I've read, I'm pretty sure that this is normal. I started taking the pill 3 weeks ago and for just over a week I have had brown discharge. I'm still confused about what's happening to my body, but I'm very certain that this is normal. I will probably be calling my doctor sometime soon to see if he thinks this is normal. Just commenting to say "same"

I'm having that same problem right now and have no idea what's going on. Did u ever figure it out? Did everything go back to normal?

I believe this was the most helpful answer too. My boyfriend has never came in me though. I am a very paranoid person and thought I was pregnant and took a test. Negative. I am taking something similar to yours except 1.5/30 I am going to GYNO next week.
