I'm sure this has been asked a million
times... But here goes anyway. :?
I am on birth control (alesse 28) and i've
been on it for about four months now. I
have not missed any pills this month. I
just finished my period about 15 days ago,
fiance and I had sex about 8 days ago, and
yesterday I started with this brown
mucous-like discharge. It is mostly
there when I wipe, but sometimes when i'm
walking or when I go for a jog as well.
I've had brown spotting before when I
first started the pill, but it was only a
small amount, and this time it seems to be
a little bit more.
Any ideas? :?

Sounds like you are spotting.It happens
when you are on the pill.It can mean you
need to switch brands.Your best bet is to
call your doc and let her/him know what is
going on.It is not something to worry
about,but do let your doc know what is
going on.Good luck to you.

Thanks :)
today I started having a bit of red blood
mixed in with the brown stuff, yuck. But
I *think* i've got this figured out.
Alesse is the lowest estrogen birth
control pill that there is out there, or
so i'm told. Apparently low estrogen
levels can thin the lining of the uterus,
making it more likely to bleed during
activity. Lately, i've been a lot more
active, jogging a few miles a day. The
symptoms started about the same time as
the activity increased, so I can pretty
much narrow it down to that.
Unfortunately, I think I will have to
change birth control pills, yet again.
This is the fourth birth control method
i've tried in the past year that hasn't
worked... I can't wait until I get
married next summer and start trying to
have a baby... No more pill! :)

Day six today with this disgusting brown
stuff :( i'm supposed to start my period
on sunday...Which means that I only got
away with a week and half out of this
month without having to wear a pad :(
going to the doc's tomorrow to get it
checked out, I hope he can come up with
some miraculous solution to make it stop.
*sigh* being a girl sucks sometimes. :p

To steph1983,
i was just reading what you were going
through and I take the same pill as you
and I am going through the same thing
although this just started for me but I
agree. And let me tell you that I have
been on 5 different kinds of birth control
pills and I can't wait to get married and
get off the pill and have kids. So it's
glad to know that I am not the only one
that has these problems.

Similar Problem Posted: 06-11-05 09:53am
I've been taking a birth control pill for
a while now, more than a year. Last month
a started having a brown discharge about 2
weeks before my period was due. I had
never had a brown discharge before. It
happens at least once a week. Is this
something serious?
