Is this normal? Should I stop taking my pill or should I change it? Thank you for your help!

Question

Hello! I'm on the pill and I've been on my week for 7 days, as usual. However, after only 3 days of taking my pill again, I started to have brown spots (like my week beginnings) and it's been going on for 5 days. It has happened to me for a day after I started my pill again, but never for this long. I have no pain but my discharge feels like menstrual discharge. I take the pill Yasmin 21

Hello ma'am, is this the first time this has happened to you? Do you have any other symptoms such as pain, unusual odor or anything else? What contraceptive are you taking? Thank you for the information. In the absence of other symptoms, this does not necessarily indicate a problem as long as it is mild and temporary. I invite you to continue taking your contraceptive if you are willing to do so. If the situation persists for more than 2 weeks without improvement, I suggest that you consult a doctor as a precaution. Sincerely, Tom Samaha, pharmacist
