I am on birth control that you only have a period once every three months, and I have now been on it for 9 months. I had breakthrough spotting, so my doctor decided to give this birth control a try. When it did not work the first 6 months, he decided to try a DNC. That did not seem to help, so he said he wanted me to try 3 more months on the pill, and it still hasn t helped. I have brown discharge almost every single day, and it has been going on now for a year. I need other opinions on what is going on.
