What Causes Brownish Discharge After Using Ipills?

I am 7 months post partum and my son is exclusively breastfed. I am on birth control pills and have not had my first period yet. Today I have felt some cramping and when I wipe there is some brown blood. Is this normal? Should I be worried about pregnancy?

Hello dear
Understand your concern.
If you have unprotected sexual intercourse there may be a chance of pregnancy.
But it should be confirmed by blood HCG level or by USG of lower abdomen.
Other cause may be a side effects of birth control pills.
Following are common side effects of pills:
Intermenstrual spotting, Nausea, Breast tenderness, Irregular periods, nausea, headaches or weight change, Headache, Malaise, weakness
Weight gain, Mood changes due to hormonal imbalance
Decreased libido, Vaginal discharge, Visual changes

Take tablet meftal saps three times a day for 2-3 days or when pain
Take healthy diet with vitamin and mineral supplements
Avoid excessive stress, alcohol, salt and caffeine.
Do regular exercise.
Use safer sex practice and maintain hygiene after and before sex.
If persists , you can use other contraceptive methods like condoms
