What Causes Dark Brown Discharge During Periods While On Contraceptives?
What does dark brown discharge in the middle of my cycle mean? I have been on birth control for over a year and take it at the same time every day. I have been using it continually forthe most part but will allow myself to have a period every few months, and just had one last month.

Hi,
It can possibly be an infection like bacterial vaginosis or fungal infection like yeast.
You can go for a vaginal swab to make a diagnosis.
As of now, use Clotrimazole vaginal lotion to cleanse your genitals.
If symptoms persist, better to consult a gynecologist and get evaluated.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
