I started glidess fe 1/20 in Feb, and my periods have been irregular. I used to be on lo loestrin fe.I had a period in Feb n march, now April some blood came but then it has been red brown discharge for 2 days now with menstrual cramps and back aches. Should I be worried about pregnancy? Or is this normal to have thus discharge being on glidess fe?
Hi dear user, thanks for your query. Decreased blood flow during menses is one of the advantage of oral contraceptive pills. In your case, it seems to be the same. Brown discharge may be residual menstrual blood, or it may be due to some local infection. If this is residual blood it will subside. But if it is due to infection then it will persist, and you will need some treatment. Failure rate of pills (used correctly) is very low i.e. 0.1. So, if you have taken them regularly then chances of pregnancy are negligible. Hope this helps.
