I got my period this month, but it's weird.. It's brown, not red. Is something wrong?

I am on birth control, and last month my boyfriend and I had sex without a condom. I got my period exactly when I was supposed to get it, but the flow isn't as heavy as it normally is, and like I said.. It's BROWN, there wasn't a bit of red in it.

Also, it didn't last the normal 5-7 days it usually does.. It quit after 3 or 4.

Is there something wrong?

Update:

I have not taken any pregnancy tests or anything. My period just finished today, so it wouldn't have been enough time to have taken one anyway. I will probably get one this week just to make sure.

    I don't think so, I don't think you're pregnant either from what you've stated.

    Hello.

    Have u taken a test to rule out pregnancy?? If u have it could be the pill causing a bit of an imbalance with ur periods sometimes it can do that.

    If ur not pregnant it might be worth goin back to ur Dr to see if this is the right pill for u.

    Good luck and i hope all works out for u. Try not to worry too much im sure everything is fine.

  • no id say nothing is wrong. that used to happen to me sometimes when i was on birth control. its just old blood. it can happen due to hormonal changes in your body.
