Took Cerazette. Had Prolonged Bleeding And Stopped. Having Brown Discharge. Did Not Happen Like This Previously. Normal?

I started taking cerazette in Novemeber on the 1st day of my period. It stopped the period and then it wasn t until the first week or so of December that I had the bleed I was supposed to have, even though it lasted 2.5 weeks (stopped on the 20th). I ve not had any kind of period since but I ve started getting brown discharge . My partner and I have unprotected sex but I ve never had this problem before. This is my second time on Cerazette and last time I had the expected bleed and then nothing for the next 4 years. Why am I getting the discharge this time?

Hi ! Good morning and a Happy New Year 2014. I am Dr Shareef answering your query.

Even though you are on a birth control pill/emergency pill, it is not a hundred percent guarantee against pregnancy. I would suggest you to go for a serum HCG estimation and an ultrasound of the abdomen if need be and if advised by your gynaecologist to confirm/exclude a pregnancy. This is necessary in view of your history of unprotected sex and brownish discharge.


I hope this information would help you in discussing with your family physician/treating doctor in planning your treatment. Thanks for using the health care magic forum for your query on health. Wishing you an early recovery. Dr Shareef.
