Since you are using some type of birth control and are having your period, there is no chance that you are pregnant.
Occasionally, a woman may have brown vaginal bleeding. The lining of the uterus is shed and expelled each month during menstruation. Sometimes, a small amount of the uterine contents are retained. In such a situation, you will notice dark brown vaginal bleeding. It can happen at the end of the current period, or at the start of the next period.
