General & Family Physician,  's  Response
hey hi. Dont get worried due to brownish discharge. this can be normal due to old endometrial tissue shedding after intercouse. if u are suspecting pregnancy than implantation may cause spotting but not within one day. To be on safe side see for missed period which might be in 7 days and continue OCP.
