I'm on my the second week of my second month (seasonale). I've still been having this brownish discharge that wont quit! Is this discharge considered spotting? It doesnt resemble blood in anyway b/c its brown. Is it safe to have sex while having this type of discharge?

hi...i'm on my 2nd month of estrostep & i've been back & forth between the brown junk & bleeding. my dr. says its normal...just breakthrough bleeding. driving me nuts though. it is fine to have sex while you're having this. my dr didnt say i should be taking any other precautions. i find that when i do have sex with this discharge (i only do when it is super light), that it either goes away for about 12 hours afterward, or it progresses to bleeding (very red) for about 12 hours. anyone else have this happening?
