Is Cramps And Brown Discharge After Surgical Abortion Without Bleeding Normal?
I had a surgical abortion about 8 weeks ago. No bleeding after procedure what so ever. Went on birth control patch about 4 weeks ago. Thought I was finally getting my period ( had cramps ) but all I see is dark brown discharge, like the stuff that comes at the end of a period. Is this normal?
Hello and welcome, Such discharge is common after using birth control. They are known to cause menstrual irregularities. Still, as you started the patch a bit late, I suggest that you get a urine pregnancy test to rule it out. If it is negative, do not worry as birth controls cause irregular bleeding.
