Hello and welcome to HCM.

Thank you for your query.

Your symptoms do not really indicate pregnancy, and are mostly signs of an approaching period, but we will have to rule out pregnancy. Although you are on birth control, we can never be too sure. A home pregnancy kit is very easily available, safe and easy to use as well. You can do this be using a home pregnancy kit and testing yourself with an early morning sample of urine, which would be most accurate and would yield and accurate result.

A light pink discharge is usually a sign of either:
-An infection
-Seen during the first few days of a period or just before a period

Similarly a brown discharge, mostly spotting, is also a sign of a soon approaching period, or is seen during the first few days of a period.

So what you are experiencing is most probably an approaching period, but for your satisfaction, you could rule out pregnancy as well.

I hope I have succeeded in providing the information you were looking for. Please feel free to write back to me for any further clarifications. I would gladly help you.

Best wishes.
