Brief Answer:
Hormonal imbalance

Detailed Answer:
Hi,

Thanks for your query.

Birth control pills are made of high dose hormones like estrogens and progesterones. These tend to meddle with the normal hormonal balance leading to disturbances in the uterine environment.

This leads to abnormal proliferation of the endometrial glands which shred with brownish discharge.

Need not worry, this is self-limiting and will stop on its own.

Hope, I answered your query.

Wish you good health.
