Brown discharge

So i'm 19. I've been on the pill for about a year but have switched to different brands every 3 months.

i had sex with the bf. unprotected for a while but he wasnt even in for long cuz i'm scared of getting preggers. Then we used a condom in which case he got off.

So i guess what i'm asking is: why have i been having a brown discharge?

after having sex with him that night, my body was tingling for over an hour. following with an asthma attack and stomach pain, which may be due to a lack of food/heat provided by the college.

so. yea. why have i been having brown discharge for 3/4 days?

could it be dried up blood?

I mean i took my pill right on time days before having sex with him. but days after, i kinda forgot. so is it because of the pills?

please help

I had the same thing when I went on the depo-prevera shot. I had it for a few months before it finally went away. If you take your pill inconsistently it can also happen. Or you may need a stronger dosage to regulate it.Basically, I was told, it's just blood. No worries, but tell your doctor anyway, and see what he/she says.

I used to have spotting nearly every day of the month on birth control.  I couldn't stand it - I tried every kind of pill (Yazmin, now called Yaz I think was the best - I only bled about half to 2/3 the month on that one).  Finally I gave up on hormonal birth control and got a paragard copper IUD.  I had to doctor shop a little to get it - finally I saw a female nurse practitioner at Planned Parenthood and explained - I'm allergic to spermicides, I can't tolerate hormone birth control - how can I prevent pregnancy if you won't do this?  She did it for me, and I had no prob with the IUD.  Kept it for almost 9 years and now I'm TTC.
