I had thought that I would not be having extreme side effects any longer. This past month, however, I have had heavy yellow-brown discharge (it comes in "gushes"), vaginal itching, and reddish-brown spotting with lots of cramping. My period was barely two weeks ago, and extremely light. I am trying to understand what is going on in my body, and am not sure what to think (fibroids? side effects from the Mircette? bacterial infection? pregnancy?)....

My best guess would be of vaginal infection. I would see a gynecologist.
