any advice?

I’ve been on the contraceptive pill for a month now. I started it on a random day. the start of the second week i started to bleed. Looked at my period app and my last period was 4 weeks prior so was probably my period. Beginning of this week I started to bleed again. So out of the 4 weeks i’ve been bleeding for 2 of them. The colour of the blood is brown, not red brown, brown brown. Google says end of period, postpartum bleeding or early pregnancy but i’ve not any symptoms i had with my first pregnancy and post postpartum bleeding stopped ages ago. Do i start another pill strip or wait until i can speak to a doctor?

For me, taking the pill led to irregular bleeds at first. I used to get brown blood too when it would happen and it would always be old blood in my case. It sounds like the same thing for you? If you're questioning pregnancy, grab a test and do one to check. (My first & second pregnancy had completely different signs/symptoms)

Yup! Went on pill 3 days before period, had period for 8 days and after 3 days again bleeding. I stopped the pill on the 2nd day of the afterperiod bleeding because I started cramping as well. And now I am already 1 week off the pill and still bleeding it'd so annoying🤬

@Daria before i got pregnant i had the same issue bleeding whilst still on it so the doctor took me off so im just thinking maybe my body just doesn’t like it anymore
