What Causes Dark Red Vaginal Discharge While On Birth Control?

Hi, I am experiencing dark red discharge. I a currently taking birth control called Orthocyclen (not sure on the spelling) i've taken it for a little over 2 years now and have never experienced any problems with it. According to the pill, I should be starting my period sometime on Monday or Tuesday. However I have been eperiencing this type of discharge for about 8 days. The first 5 or 6 days were very light red colored discarge, like a normal period would be, but the last 3 or 4 days has been more dark and thick. I have no smell, no pain, no cramps, no headaches, no sickness, the only symptom I have it the dischage. Any advice would be greatly appreciated, thank you!
