The pill

Hi Everyone, just looking for some advice please. I started back on the pill two days ago in an attempt to sort my acne. I was keen to start it as soon as it was prescribed so this meant starting it two days before my period was due. I have had some brownish discharge (spotting) since starting it. Does this mean my natural period will still come or is it just my body adjusting? I understand you can't give me medical advice, just wondering if anyone else has had this?

Thank you :)

🙂You can start at any time..

Women can experience spotting between periods while taking birth control pills because it can take time for your body to get adjusted to estrogen and progesterone,the hormones in the pill. This spotting can appear darker in color, with women often reporting it as a brown discharge.21 May 2021
