NOT TTC.
I came off the pill in December and since then I’ve had irregular periods normal in the cycle day 40s.
I’m currently waiting for a gynaecologist appointment but the wait list is over a year.
Anyways Thursday cycle day 35+ Friday cycle day 36 I starting having brownspotting I think is the best way to describe it. When I was spotting had a pad on and there’s nothing on the pad it’s only when I wipe I got similar to what’s in the photo. Then yesterday and today I’ve had no spotting or anything.
Normally I get really bad bloating and pains but not had anything.
Does anyone know what this could be? I’m cycle day 38 now.

What were your periods like before you started the pill, how long were you on it for and how old are you? Are you otherwise fit and well ?

Sometimes when you are not ovulating your cycle can be erratic. Have you been examined by your GP? Have they suggested blood tests ,swabs and/or ultrasound? You started the pill in your teens ( not unusual) so there probably isn't a pattern of what is normal for you as yet.I would discuss this further with your GP; they may be able to look for the cause without recourse to a gynaecologist.

@yikesanotherbooboo
i had one lot of blood tests they came back normal, has swabs they came back fine. And I’ve also had an internal ultrasound and a normal one which didn’t show anything abnormal.
I rang the doctor back last week to say that my ultrasound and bloods came back fine and that’s when they said there’s nothing they can do and I’ll have to go to the gynaecologist. But then since then I’ve had the brown discharge

That is reassuring. You may have to watch and wait a bit to see if your cycle resets at all. If you get worrying symptoms such as bleeding after sex then see your Dr. again, likewise if there is a change in your symptoms.
