What Causes Brown Vaginal Discharge?

Hi there. So I ve been on Marlissa the oral contraceptive since December. Last month I decided to skip my placebo week to suppress my period and went straight onto the next pack of pills. Now my placebo week starts tomorrow, but I d like to skip my period again, and I ve had brown discharge for the past two days and I woke up with period-like cramps this morning. I ve also experienced other pms like symptoms. Is this normal?

Hi I think you might get your periods in few days. It is common to have breakthrough bleeding if you skip the placebo pills. So, I think you should not skip your pills this cycle if it is not really necessary. You will get periods in few days and then you can start a new pack. Hope it helps.
