Im on microgynon 30. I started my "period" on 15/02 and it ended on 18/02. From the 19/02 to 22/02 I was feeling extremly ill (sore throat, nausea) on 22/02 I had bleeding which was dark in colour but light in flow where only a tiny amount was in my underwear and also when I wiped. From 23/02 - 24/02 I have had white discharge and dull aches around my groin area. Also my period wasnt how it normaly was it was different in colour more brownish than red?

Hi Anonymous,

Side effects of Microgynon include: 

  • Change in menstrual bleeding.
  • Menstrual spotting or breakthrough bleeding

It seems as though you have experienced breakthrough bleeding (dark blood is old blood). However, if you feel like you have had abnormal discharge and feeling pain, then please schedule an appointment with your doctor. 

Please keep us posted,

Rosa
