Normal Problems Taking the Pill - Adjusting After First Month

Hi
i had the same problem only I went on bc too soon after giving birth, I think that was my problem but I had an annoying period like thing that lasted, no kidding the first 3 months of the bc. It was so annoying but apparently normal
as your body gets used to the hormones.

Good luck

I wouldn't worry too much about it since it is your first month. When I first started birth contol I was on my period for the first entire month. It was extremely horrible!! But, I talked to the doctor and she said it was normal because you're just getting used to the hormones and such. Hope this helped!

Hi this is my first post and I joined specifically for this girls question actually.
Earlier this month I started the birth control pill for the first time. (alesse 28 day pack). For the first few days after my period everything was fine but for the last week now i've have a brown discharge that is quite annoying. I'm relieved to hear it's probably normal due to the change of horomones. I also plan on just living with it unless is continues after my next period.

You guys say you got a brownish discharge after taking birth control. I've never taken birth control and sometimes, right before my period, I get a brownish discharge. I have a gyno appointment in january and i'm going to ask her about it, but I just wondered if any of you guys had any clues?

Well brown discharge is normal but it's right in the middle of the month which is very odd for me and now it's lasted almost 14 days. Could be from the pill but it's puzzling. If it is from the pill I hope it goes away next cycle, I don't want to stop using the pill but I also don't want to have something like this everyday of every month.

Ive had the same thing. Well ive been on birth control for a few years now but ive always have the brown discharge. About 2 weeks before having my period I have it until I start my period. At times it will be alot and some just alittle bit. I asked my doctor about and she said that I need a birth control with more hormones in it. Ive changed my pills about 3 times now and I think I still have it. I wish there was something that would make it go away but I tihnk I have to live with it.

That really sucks :(

I think this really sucks.
I just started using pills and this discharge has been on for 7days is ther nothing that can be done.
How many days more will I have to go.
Its making me loose apetite.
Help

Just letting you all know, my discharge continued until then end of my first month on birthcontrol, then after my next period I never saw it again.

The same thing happen to me I had a regular period then at the time I thought I was off thats when that brown caca started coming it lasted about 2wks. I was scared I kind of figure it had something to do with birth control but my health question thought it was a miscarriage, but I really can't say what it is because I haven't been to the doctor yet.

It is hard to say really if the brown discharge is in fact caused from the birth control directly or if it is an underlying problem. I have always had the brown discharge, always. Although when I started taking the pill it did get worse. It kept getting worse instead of better the entire time I was on the pill. But now after I quit taking the pill I still have it everyday, but it isn't quite as heavy as when I was on bc. So the bc may directly cause it, but there could also be another problem causing it. Just something to talk to your doctor about.

I've been off again - on again on alesse28. I have not been getting my prescription refilled on time each year- so it is like starting over every time. The first two years starting the pill, I would have breast pain and some light breakthrough bleeding between periods, yet nothing too life changing. This year, I waited almost 3 months before restarting my birth control, and it has been horrible. The first month my period was very heavy and lasted 9 days. The second month my period was basically this "brown sludge" hollyann84 was talking about. That lasted almost 15 days. It seemed like it was going away but of course my period was starting again soon and the discharge was back. Now that I am on my placebo pills, I have very light blood and brown discharge (dried blood?). I started taking the pills because I wanted safer sex (no pregnancy). But if I can't have sex because I have dark discharge all of the time, what is the point ??? This is disheartening... For sure.... :( it is hard to be in a relationship with someone if you go weeks without any form of intimacy. (it makes you feel somewhat helpless).


I'm about to start my 3rd pack, hope the discharge goes away....

I wanted to ask something like this... The other day I had sex with my bf.. Im on the pill... Always use a condom etc: we always check the condom for holes and stuff and when I went to check browny discrage was on the outside... So it was obv. From me......... This is like our... 5th time? Ever for both of us so im hoping it may be my hymen still breaking in abit because it still hurts when we have sex tho its getting better.... ?? Xx

When I was on the pill I had that same problem and I talked to the doctor about it and she told me it was jsut ur body getting use to the pill and it should take a couple months and it should be gone.......... And I waited for a lil while and it went away its nothing to get worried about just ur body getiting use to it :)

I started on birth control 3 months ago. The second month i decided I would skip my period cause I was going away. Everything was fine and then about 2 weeks ago I got my period. The worst one I've ever had. It lasted like 10 days and I've had the brown discharge ever since. Should I be going to the clinic and perhaps going on a different kind of birth control? Or should I just give my body time to adjust?

This is really gross but when I woke up this morning I was headed to the bathroom and a light brown discharge in the form of a small sac came out of me, fell right to the ground as I was walking. It looked like when my ferret use to have diarrhea because it was almost that solid. It shocked me and really freaked me out, this is my 1 1/2 month of Yaz and I'm posting this because a google search led me to a similar topic here. Quick replies saying that I'm not pregnant would be nice because I saw 2 other links on the google search with "light brown discharge" that were to pregnancy forums. I'm really scared here because there are reasons I'm on birth control, thanks for the help.

As I said, it was like a sack or capsule almost, with my normal white discharge at the end. It just dropped out of me really weirdly. I am active with my fiance and I've been on the pill and take it regularly every morning and have not missed one yet. I'm skipping my spacers to override my period because my periods were getting out of hand and that's the main reason I've been on the pill. It's my only form of contraceptive I'm using, could Yaz fail so easily? Was it like a miscarriage or something. I really don't think I was or am pregnant, I had symptoms a few months ago and I went to see the gyno and the nurse, after hearing my symptoms said I had ALL the symptoms of pregnancy and that I probably was but the test was negative and the symptoms went away. That visit is when she put me on Yaz. I waited a month before having sex w/o condoms, been taking it regularly, I really don't know what this is. I usually have white discharge regularly throughout the day but after the capsule, my normal white discharge has stopped and for once I'm completely dry. I keep calling the doctor's office but I get the answering service because they're 1/2 hour late so far. My last period was at the end of last month, it was an odd one because I wasn't suppose to get it at all with this new pill but, I get them at the beginning or end of the month if that helps anyone give me an answer, thanks.
