I have got a brown discharge 'down below'.
It looks like i'm on my period, but i'm on the pill and i'm not on my breakthrough week yet.
There's no chance of me being pregnant either. Any ideas anyone?

Spotting is common during the first few cycles of birth control. Also, just because it isn't your breakthrough week, doesn't mean you won't start having your period a little earlier.

Breakthrough bleeding is very common on the pill, especially if you've just started using it. It can occur at times other than the week you're off the pill. Sometimes it happens when you take the pill at other than your regular time, or you may have forgotten to take it on a certain day. I don't think it's anything to worry about, and will probably go away after several cycles have been established. If it continues, you might want to check with your gyno. Good luck!

When you are on the pill, you are not really experiencing a period each month. Its a pseudoperiod that occurs during the sugar pill week. This blood is not oxygenated and therefore appears brown. It sounds like you are having breakthrough bleeding. I had this while taking Lo-Estren which is the lowest dose of estrogen pill. I hated it and changed pills. Now its stopped.

I would make an appointment to see your GP, just in case there is something abnormal. It could be a sign of infection, or even a more serious internal issue, hence a visit to the doctor - just to be on the safe side and to rule anything out.
Some women have 'spotting' whilst taking the pill where you notice small amounts of blood in your underwear, so it may just be that. I hope you sort it out and everything is o.k.

Maybe some kind of infection. You should go to your health centre and the nurse would take a swab, just to be on the safe side
