Dark Brown Discharge

I just went to the bathroom to discover
that I have some brown discharge on my
panties. I'm currently on the pill so can
this be some break through bleeding? I've
also been diagnosed with BV and I'm
starting the antibiotics today.
So what is this brown discharge? Should I
go to the doctor again?

it is quite common to have breakthrough
bleeding on the pill. however, if you are
taking antibiotics please remember to use
condoms as antibiotics can make the pill
less effective

But its like.. dark brown. =S
and thanks for the advice. I asked the
doctor and she said that the antibiotics
of BV shouldn't affect the pill. But a
condom would be a good idea for the next
week.
Thanks for the advice!

Dark brown is very common for me,
personally.

Breakthrough bleeding is not uncommon. How
long have you been on the pill?

You are definately still within the time
period to be experiencing unusual side
effects.

So the dark brown discharge isn't uncommon
for the first several months? Also, its
starting to change to a dark red now..

I don't think it's anything to worry
about. I do that sometimes right before I
start my period.

I also don't think it's anything to worry
about. You said you were nearly ready to
start your period anyway right?

Yeah... I took my last active pill last
night. I usually get my period on
Wednesdays.

Okay, I've been having some brown
discharge again. This time its really dark
and sticky. It kind of reminds me of
molasses. How can I make this go away?

We really don't have any control over our
bodies. Patience and waiting is the best
you can do; just take the pills the way
you should, unless of course the
side-effects are debilitating. A little
brown discharge is surely worth not being
pregnant?

I've been taking the pills everyday at the
same time.
Also, I went straight to the next pack
this month. I should be having my period
this week but my boyfriend came back from
a business trip and I haven't seen him in
a while so I took the next cycle. Could
that be contributing to the brown
discharge?

Oh man, definately. Some women have a hard
time skipping periods, and end up spotting
all month instead!

To a previous response- someone had stated
that being on Antibotics makes the pill
less effective, that is not true. I
acutally just read an article earlier
today on Yaz.Com! just so you know!

It is true. It just depends on what
antibiotics you are taking. The ones I
took last month was for BV. My doctor said
that it would not effect my birth control
in anyway.
HOWEVER, there are antibiotics that makes
the pill less effective!
