What Does Dark Brown Vaginal Bleeding While On Birth Control Indicate?

So, a few days ago I started ovulating. I am on birth control and I have been for 4 years and this has never happened. The first day of ovulation I started having dark brown/ black vaginal bleeding. Then I ve been having lower abdominal pain on my left side. I have pain right below my rib cage. I ve lost a lot of weight at once lately, lost my appetite this past month.. I don t know what is going on and I m very scared

Hello,

I think it is due to delayed period because of hormonal imbalnce
Consult the gynecologist for better treatment

Following are the causes of your problem:
Excessive stress, Vaginal/pelvic infections, Hormonal imbalance, Dysfunction of ovary/PCOS, Uterine fibroid, Adenomyosis, Thyroid problem, endometriosis, Pelvic inflammatory disease, Contraceptive pills used

So I think you should consult doctor.
Do the following test
1. Blood test: FSH, LH, Estrogen, progesterone, HCG, Thyroid hormone, ESR, CBC, Blood clotting abnormality
2. Pelvic examination
3. PAP smear
4. USG
5. Hysteroscopy

Take rest
Maintain hygiene
Avoid stress and start relaxation exercise.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Ivan R. Rommstein, General Surgeon
