Brown, Clumpy Discharge After Taking Birth Control Pill. What Is The Reason?
Hello,
I just started taking the 4th week birth control pill today (8:00am sharp) and noticed later on a brown almost clumpy discharge. I've never experienced something like this during the process of the pill, or before. Is the discharge old blood from periods since the pill has stopped them? or could it be something worse? I'm very worried.

Hello ma'am and welcome.
The brown blood is a normal occurence and shedding of the endometrium (inner lining of the uterus). This is only considered abnormal when seen with other symptoms.
I would either way recommend a doctors visit to rule out all other possibilities.
Hope this helps.
Best wishes.
