I take the yasmin pill which I've been taking for a couple of years with no problems. Woke up today with still 2 pills left in my pack and quite a bit of very dark brown discharge which has carried on throughout today. I've never had this before and I do feel a bit worried - it's never happened before, I've not missed a pill, and normally I take the 21 then wait a few days before having a normal breakthrough bleed.
I'm not in pain, only very very mild period feeling and my boobs have stopped aching - they normally ache a bit in the run up to my period and stop when it starts.
I'm alarmed by the colour and also the fact it's happened during my pill pack. Should I take the other 2 pills or stop for 7 days then start my next pack?
Does this warrant checking out - it's so hard to get a GP appt anyway.
Im 35, nearly 36 and I have 2 children already but im way past childbirth etc.
