vaginapagina | Odd discharge on Yasmine 21 (Reply)

Hello there.

I began taking the Yasmine 21 birth control pill 11 days ago. I've tried three different types of oral contraception before, but because of my body's horrible reaction (every time, the side effects were too intense to bear) I stopped. I was much younger then.

Now I'm twenty, and while I'm dealing with most of the other side effects quite well, one has me rather confused.

I began taking the pill on the first day of my period, as my doctor instructed, and it lasted slightly longer than normal, as he suggested it may. However, even after eleven days, I'm noticing an odd discharge on my underwear. It doesn't "show" when I wipe or go to the washroom, but if I look on my undies, it looks rather brown/yellowish. I've taken to wearing pantyliners so I don't stain them.

Has anyone else experienced something like this, and if so, how long did it take before your body adjusted to normal? Thank you very much for your input.
