I went on Microlut after all my babies.

When DS1 was about 7 months old I started getting some discharge like yours brownish in colour, really just like spotting. Anyway I decided to go off the pill thinking that as I was still breastfeeding I would be fine, welll I fell pregnant with Ds2 and have a 16 month age gap. I didn't ever get a period so I was obviously ovulating an I think the discharge must have been something to do with my cycle.

So just be careful if you are not wanting a close age gap it may be a sign that you have started to ovulate. I was OK as I was wanting around 18 months anyway so it didn't stress me too much.

Oh and with DS 3 I was on the mini pill and eventually my periods came back like normal whilst still on it so that may eventually happen, I think it was around the 6 month mark but he was a good sleeper and had dropped a few feeds by then.
