What is "Obstetrics " ?
Obstetrics is the field of study concentrated on pregnancy, childbirth and the postpartum period. As a medical specialty, obstetrics is combined with gynecology under the discipline known as obstetrics and gynecology (OB/GYN), which is a surgical field.
My experience over Obstetrics "Brown discharge.. while on birth control"
I'm on the combination pill and consistently take it everyday at the same time. I also have the nexplanon implant. I've had it for over a year now, this is my 2nd one. I'm in the over weight category on the bmi chart so I asked my doctor if I could take bc pills along with my nexplanon for extra back up since I read something that said that nexplanon can possibly stop working for ppl with a bmi higher than 30. She approved it.
Today I noticed that I had some brown discharge. It freaked me out so I called my doctor and the nurse there said that it happens if you miss a pill or take it late... but I have the nexplanon as well so hormones should be consistently traveling in my body...you'd think. Now I'm freaked out. I haven't had periods for like 5 or so years and I haven't had this brown discharge before... except for occasionally when my ex and I would have sex. But I'm not sexually active currently and I haven't been for the past 6 months. I dont masturbate or anything at all. So I'm freaking out. Idk why im having brown discharge.
Do I need to take a pregnancy test.. Even though I haven't had sex in 6 months? Asking my nurse at my doctor's office didn't really give me much help. I'm freaking out.
