I've been reading a couple of other posting on this website, and i'm not sure is they apply to me, but im actually really concerned. for about the past week now i have been experiencing a reddish brown discharge, i haven't ever had anythign like this. I've been on the patch for only about a 6 monthes now, and i haven't missed it or anything, and im really concerned it could be something serious. i've had multiple sex partners over the past few monthes, and im concerned it could be an STD. I'm really curious to what this is, and im a little embarrassed to go have to confess this to my doctor id perfere a more annoymous way.
