In me, a brown discharge came just before a period if the period was late--delayed by stress or illness. I didn't take pill tho and the discharge still happened under the circumstances mentioned.
While it is said in the medical community that the pill is safe to take, not unhealthy, it is definitely not "natural" for the body. That is the downside of any hormonal birth control. Many women will also suffer other side effects as well. Be informed as to what they might be.
Talk to your doctors office and let them know of the breakthrough bleeding. They may want to change your dosage right away to stronger or wait another month and see how that goes.
If your body doesn't regulate to the pill well and bleeding continues or you experience some of the common side effects like headaches, mood swings, loss of libido, tender breasts, weight gain, etc... and don't like putting up with it, then research online what your other choices for birth control are. Be well informed and not relying only on the Dr. to decide what to give you. It is much more natural and not stressful on your body to use non hormonal methods of birth control.

It would be wise to consult your physician. They can determine exactly what's going on and perhaps prescribe a different medication.
