Hello dear,

The symptoms like brownish red discharge associated with lower back pain and fatigue can be attributed to infection in Genitourinary tract.
The birth control pills provide protection from unwanted pregnancies but not from infections.
Moreover, prolonged intake of antibiotics usually causes fungal infections.
So, kindly consult a Gynecologist & get a proper clinical examination done.
Investigations like complete blood count, Ultrasound scan of the abdomen & pelvis & culture/sensitivity of the discharge will be helpful in clinching the diagnosis.

Take care.
