Does the birth control implant cause prolonged brown discharge?

Answer 1

Some women notice an increased white discharge after starting the Birth Control pill, without odor, itching or irritation. This is called leukorrhea, and if you find it troublesome, your health care provider may be able to change to a different mix of hormones.

Answer 2

"Brown" is a general term, but for your purpose we will assume you are talking a typical brown color, as in a crayon or marker (for example).

As mentioned in the previous post, brown discharge can often accompany the onset and conclusion of menstruation. This is due to the slow release of blood from the cervix. As it sits in the vaginal canal, it becomes oxidized. Oxidization of blood causes it to darken. When mixed with typical vaginal fluids (which are effected on color, odor, and consistency by hormonal changes), it can turn brownish or even black.

It is not entirely uncommon to "spot" brown during ovulation, as well (especially if you are experiencing cramping). This is a natural biological response to the ovum travelling from the Fallopian tubes into the uterus (the cramps are usually caused by contraction of the uterine walls, which helps the process).

If your discharge takes on a bright or deeply-yellowed, greenish, or greyish tone, or you experience changes in odor (to a foul or fishy smell), this could indicate the presence of an infection, STD, etc. Best to get it checked out.

Brown discharge at the beginning of your period or at the very end of your period is usually normal (I am NOT a medical professional).

Any spotting or discharge at other times of the month may be a sign of a more serious problem. Please contact a health professional if that's the case.

Brown or red menstrual flow is normal on birth control pills.

Answer 4

AnswerYes, brown discharge is normal while on the shot when you first start taking the shot. It's also normal to get it right before you need to get another shot. Keep in mind it's normal if it's SPOTTED brown discharge. If it is not spotted, you might want to call your doctor. After a few months, most people completely stop periods and discharge. I haven't had a period in almost THREE YEARS!!!!
