Another period question! - Women's Health Message Board

I took ortho-cyclen for over a year. In August I stopped taking it and in September and October my periods were normal. But this month it started off very light and didn't even look like blood. It was more of a brown-ish color. The next day it was normal, but ever since that it has been basically "spott-age" of the brown-ish color. This has been going on for about 4 days now. Has this ever happened to anyone, and do you think it could be happening since I stopped taking BC?
Thanks
