Why Am I Having Brown Discharge, Cramps After Taking Sprintec Birth Control Medicine?
I'm on sprintec birth control and for about two weeks I've been having Brown discharge and lately cramps. I just finished an antibiotic for trich about a week ago and I am worried the two may not have worked fully together or something. I've heard the discharge is normal but once it didn't go away for like two months. I don't take my pills at the same time everyday but I do take them everyday. I really don't know the question to ask but that is the information I have.
Hello, I have gone through your query and understand your concern. As you said, this brown discharge is normal during the first few periods. But it may take up to 3 to 6 months to get the problem settle down. As birth control pills are hormones, Our body have to make the equilibrium with these external hormones.
One more thing is, you have to strictly take the these birth control pill at a specific same time every day. You have to choose to take this pills at time of day that is easier for you to remember. Else fix the time in after your evening meal or at bedtime may help if you have stomach upset or nausea with the medication. Taking at varied times regularly makes these pills ineffective and possibly you will become pregnant. Thus follow a regular schedule.
Hope this helps. Please write back for further queries. Wishing you good health.
