Dark brown discharge?

The last time i had sex was about almost 3 weeks ago my period had just ended the few nights before. We used a condom. I should be getting my period next week maybe. i have been having dark brown discharge for the passed 5 days. This morning it was like my period there was blood but it goes back to being just brown again by the end of the day sometimes so light i barley notice. I dont know what to even think?? You got any ideas?

Well antibiotic effects the birth control pill, As it shows on the package or it should it says do not take antibitoics with birth control, Not saying this to scare u id take a test, Because antibitotics is stronger then birth control so birth control wont work as its suppost to... I also have brown discharged and i usually get it after my period and after sex.. I was wondering about it to but apperintly its normal to get after period or before..

I've never had regular periods. I had the coil fitted at the end of June, but went back to the pill around august time as the coil was causing problems. Since I went back to the pill, my periods have been regular and for the full 7 days. The last period I had was from the 19th until the 26th of November, but then on dec 4th (over a week since my last period) I started to have a dark brown discharge, I've had it everyday since and although it's constantly heavy discharge, it can be heavier at different times of the day (I've even had to wear pads to avoid staining my underwear!) I haven't noticed any smell from it either. I thought nothing of it at first, but as it hadnt gone away, I looked it up on the Internet; one site said that if u also have symptoms such as depression and pain during sex, then it could be something serious like cervical cancer....now this has worried me asi have had those symptoms. I have tried to get in at the doctors, but they have such a ridiculous appointment scheme, I couldn't get one! Could someone please advise as to what it could be or what to do?
