So this is to go along with my last question...I stopped taking my birth control pills last Tuesday, had sex Wednesday, and yesterday started to bleed, but it's brown. It started out bright red and now it's brown. I'm not supposed to get my period for another 2 weeks not and it came early. I kno this sounds nasty but I hope someone can help me. I don't kno what's going on with my body! Please help!

by stopping the pill you have changed your hormonal balance, this is normal.

This is likely the result of you coming off your birthcontrol. A withdrawl of Estrogen is what allows you to start your period (which is why you generally have your period during the week of inactive pill).
Typically, you should always finish a pack of birthcontrol before going off-- this will have less of an effect on your natural body cycle.
It may take you awhile to get back into a normal cycle. If you keep having very irregular instances, go see your gyno.
Good luck.
