Hello,
Brown vaginal discharge commonly occurs when the uterine lining gets thinned up due to hormonal birth control pills (I-pill or regular birth control pill) or when there is irritation on the cervix.
You need not worry. Since you are taking birth control pills & using a contraceptive device, it's not pregnancy. If you have any discomfort get physically examined by a gynecologist.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
