I am on birth control in pill forms. The last couple of days I took them later than I should have and started spitting yesterday (which I thought would be the start of my period due to the fact that I have ha don t period start early due to lack of taking the pills online.) well yesterday it was a very VERY small amount and was brown. I had just come back from the beach. today I checked and I had just a tad bit more and it brownish but VERY gray. I noticed I have been having a lot of discharge, but this is common for me because I usually give off a lot. I want to know why it could possibly be grey? I ve never had that happen before. I have had sex but it was protected. I should know by the end of this week if I am late of not for this period. Do you know why it could possibly be brown? I also haven t had cramps like I d normally expect right before my period.
