Hey ladies I need help I just recently started birth control this is my first time on a pack . I recently started not even a week after my period like a brown discharge for almost 6 days than a day of a pinkish colour. It went back to brown and this is been going on for about 10 days ... is this normal or not ? Should I go see my doctor

Hey :) you’re not on your own, I’ve been on my pill now for 10 months and I still experience various side effects, spotting being one. It is normal as the doctors usually say it takes approximately 6 months for the pill to settle into your system.

Hope this puts your mind at ease in some way x
