Brown Discharge

[Viestar]

I am 28 years old, sexually active, but on the birth control pill.  I am not very good at taking the pill at the same time each day. When I began my period last week, the discharge was brown and not the usual red.  This continued for 2 or so days, then I had some normal blood, then back to the brown.  I finished my period yeserday, then today I had more brown discharge!  I've experienced the normal, end of the period dark blood, but never to begin my period, or so much!  I read somewhere that when you are pregnant you may experience brown blood during the time you might have your menstrual cycle!!!Does anyone know what might be going on??

I have always had the brown discharge before my period then a day after its usually red blood and heavy. Well I have the flu and running high temp and today's my second day and I'm starting to have some bleeding seems the more I walk around the more it comes but with the flu u jus feel like Layin around. But I do have the red bleeding now do I have a reason to be worried?

I had the same thing a month or so ago from missing one birth control pill.  If it's implantation bleeding it won't continue for the length of a normal period.  Just to settle your nerves, take a home pregnancy test, but more than likely it's just from the pills!
