How long have you been on the pill for? I was on the pill for 10 years, came off a year before I thought I might want to try for a baby. No side effects and returned to regular periods. Possibly lucky, but I would say speak to your doctor, I did ask about it being bad for you to be on the pill for more than 10 years but they said it simply wasn't the case - there are advantages and disadvantages.
If life is easier on the pill and more difficult (rather than say inconvenient) off it then I think you need to speak to the doctor and see if you are ok to stay on it. There may be a better type of pill for you.
I know its scary but its always better to face it and get help asap. My doctor recommended a smear and i need to keep an eye on things.
Yours could be as simple as an infection/UTI so please don't panic. But do seek advice from your doctor xx

Ive just seen this. Go to your doctor immediately. I had what seemed like a second period, only a week after my period finished. This has never happened to me before. Obviously bleeding can be anything and everything and ends in cancer being worse case scenario.Hi there. I’ve been getting some streaks of blood in my urine and blood when I’m wiping which isn’t period related (but posting here cos I’ve had unusual discharge and changes to my periods too which are now much lighter and seem more like spotting ) .. I’m freaking out a bit as one in five cases of blood in wee means bladder cancer. Any advice or experience? I’m 33f and mum to a ten month old.

Hi everyone. Just posting here as maybe somebody has had similar or same issue. I came off the pill at the end of January after a year and a half of being on Microlite.
My period took a while to get back to normal but since April I have had regular 28/29 day cycle. Today would be day 20 of my cycle and this morning I had brown blood. It’s quite light and has tailed off over the course of the day. I’m almost 35 and intend to start trying for a family with my partner in the next couple of months. I’ve done a pregnancy test which was negative. I have no other symptoms and didn’t have my general bloating and sore boobs like I normally would before period is due.
I have booked a doctors appointment but it’s not until the week after next. Googling has brought up fibroids/cervical cancer which I’m hoping it’s not. Has anyone been through similar?
