Hello. I am a 21 year old woman. I was on the birth control pill for about 4 years. I had to stop taking it, because I gained a lot of weight. Anyway, my boyfriend of 6 years, have started using condoms again. I have been off the birth control pill for about a month. The time when my period was supposed to be on, I found brown blood (or whatever it is) in my panties. It was there for about 3 days. I took a pregnancy test (at the doctor's office) and the test was negative. My boyfriend and I have been VERY careful, I even watch him put the condom on!! What's wrong with me? I can't be pregnant!

It is normal for your period to take a while to get back into a pattern after so long on birth control. You may have unusually heavy, light, late, early or missing periods for a while

It is completely normal to have stranger bleeding while you are going all natural without hormones..
Have you considered an IUD? They are hormone free, and very safe and effective. I have one :-) Happy user of paragard, as I cannot tolerate hormones at all, for reasons other than weight gain. With the IUD there are NO HORMONES, so you would not have the same issues.

Yeah, don't worry about it. The brown discharge is probably your body "trying" to have a period. However, it is very normal for your normal period cycle not to be consistent for up to 3-6months after you stop taking the pill, just because your body is slowly adjusting to the new hormone levels. I don't think you have anything to worry about. :-)
