This is common. Whether or not it is a problem is up to the woman involved. The accumulated hormones in the system reduce the build up of the uterine lining and, as a result, there is less to dispose of each month.

If your flow changes from the normal color to a constant muddy brown or if there is discomfort involved, check with your prescriber. Otherwise, no problem.
