Hi. I am a 17-yr-old female & I've only had sex twice: about 8 months ago (my ex used a condom) and 5 months ago (again, he used a condom). I've been on the Yaz bc pill for about 9 months, & about 2 and a half weeks ago, I started spotting just about a week after my period. I guess its spotting, b/c my discharge is REALLY light tan, like a little brown tinge, but it smells the same & has the same consistency. I don't know what this is, but I spotted all the way up to my period, which i am on now. my period is normal, except for more brown blood than usual. I am really paranoid about STDs and I am going to the ob-gyn in the next few weeks or so. does this sound like a disease?
When you're on BC, you spot in between your periods most of the time. Sometimes you're blood will be bright red, other times it may be dark brown, and most of the time it'll be somewhere in between. Near the beginning of my period it's red, but the longer into my period I go, the darker it gets. It's completely normal, but always get tested just in case and NEVER stop using condoms =) [ Melody's advice column | Ask Melody A Question ]

Well let me know how things go and how you are. [ katie_babey's advice column | Ask katie_babey A Question ]
