Thick brown discharge on Cerazette

I've been on Cerazette for 5 months now with absolutely no issues and no bleeding at all. Previously I had been on Rigevidon which is a combined pill but was switched to the mini pill due to high blood pressure. I used to take my rigevidon packs back to back to prevent my period and after a few times I would start to get some breakthrough bleeding and so would take a break for my period and then repeat. The discharge I'm experiencing just now though is brown, thick and has a smell to it and is nothing like the breakthrough bleeding I had on the combined pill. I'm going to have a break from Cerazette, have my period and see if that helps, but does anyone know what this could be or what's causing it?

This seems to be normal from what I have read. My understanding is that its similar to the discharge you'll often get just after a period. Its vaginal fluids with a little blood in the mix (brown because its been there a little while). I guess the pill doesn't stop all the blood build up all the time.
Is it around the frequency you'd usually have periods? I think it normally coincides with that.

Generally though a bot of brown discharge is nothing to worry about unless you have discomfort along with it. Then it could be something like an infection.

There is a very slim chance of it being a sign of more serious stuff, but there would be other symptoms too. Especially where you're on the pill id expect its nothing other than a little leftover blood.

Anything changes (inc smell) you can pop into the docs to be sure. :smile:

Hi. I'm closing this thread because it's old and that gets confusing (people respond to the old OP etc). If you want to discuss this topic please feel free to post a new thread. It should get more attention that way. :smile:
