Hi! I am a 26 year old, married female and have been on Microgestin for about 5 months. I am currently on the placebo week, and have been for about 3 days now. My 'period' discharge has been either nonexistent or almost black and a very pasty texture. I have never seen this texture before. My normal period is usually very red, mucous-y and heavy. Now I am not discharging anything at all. I am mainly concerned about the pasty, tar-like texture. Any thoughts on this? Not experiencing abdominal pain, just VERY light cramping (normally experience more painful cramps than this).
