Had Purple-brown Discharge. On Sronyx Birth Control. Related?

I'm definitely not sexually active, but yesterday I found this purplish brownish discharge in my underwear. I'm supposed to start my period in about a week and am on birth control for my migraines. I put a tampon in and took it out later to see if I could figure out if it was blood or whatever it was. But it didn't smell right or look right. When I put it in the toilet it filled up with water and definitely showed that it was, in fact, a purple. Could you tell me what it possibly is? Maybe a side effect of the sronyx(the birth control I'm using)? I'm going off of that soon because of other side effects, so is that a possibility?

Hello,

If you are not sexually active, then above features may be presented as side effect of the pill. It is quite common for the beginners.

Other reasons are hormonal imbalance, vaginal/ pelvic infection, over wt, stress, old endometrial tissue etc.

You need to get examined once by your gynecologist to make sure. Maintain your genital hygiene properly. Good luck.
