Hello, Black or brown discharge may be due to blood taking more time to come out may oxidise on the way and present like this. It may be normal so don't worry. OCP may cause pain abdomen and precipitate the blood clots in legs or brain in high risk patients, or it may cause weight gain, hemorrhagic or dysmenorrhoea etc. Please consult with your gynecologist for follow up to control brown discharge. Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
