Hi,
Thanks for the query.
Contraceptive pills can cause side effects like inter-menstrual spotting, increase vaginal discharge etc.
If the vaginal discharge is not associated with smell or itching, no need to worry.
Regarding the brown discharge, it could be a side effect of the pill. And possibly this will subside soon.
You once go for ultrasound and physical examination which will rule out other causes of spotting.

Take care.
