ok, i've posted earlier in the week on this topic but . . .i'm back again. started loestrin 1/20 this month. was okay for the first two weeks on the pill but last saturday, as i was about to start my third week (and two days after i had sex - not sure it correlates at all but thought i'd throw that in there), i began having very light spotting. now, five days later, i'm STILL bleeding only it's gotten heavier and now tends to be a dark brown color. i'm kind of worried that something's not right internally. i've been really good about taking my pill on time every day and haven't missed one since the start of my cycle so that's not the problem. i called my doctor and the PA told me that this was normal, to continue taking the active pills and that once i started taking the sugar pills on sunday, i may just have a light flow for my period this month. but this brown discharge is kind of freaking me out? i mean, is this my period early? or is it something else? has anyone else experienced constant bleeding like this, a week before a period is due?
