My body was getting use to the birth control and I had had a very stress filled week, I started my period two days after this.

Its hard to say exactly what it could be. But here are the possbilities I think it is: it could just be your body adjusting to the birth control, what love102309 said, or you could be pregnant (sorry I dont mean to scare you but it IS a possibilty). Have you been taking your birth control at the SAME time EVERY day? Cause if you dont take your birth control correctly (same time every day) then your chances of becoming pregnant are much greater. But like I said it could be any one of the three things I mentioned. If your worried about pregnancy you should probably wait at least a month after taking your birth control consistently and correctly before having sex. And if you do have sex which you said you are doing then use a condom because its just a nice backup AND helps protect against STD's (not all STD's but a decent amount). If you think your pregnant wait until you miss your period or if your period does come and its not the same as your regular period then take a pregnancy test. But pregnancy tests are meant to be taken at LEAST two weeks after you had sex or when period is expected or after your period has been missed. Hope this helps and please update about what happens. :)

you should still use protection because you havent been on  birthcontrol for that long. also the discharge could be that he hurt you and you didnt feel. that could happen by him putting it in wrong or hitting your walls.
