brown black period on new pill

[worried]

Can anyone give me any advice?

I changed my pill type two months ago as the one I was on wasn't really supposed to be used for protection, I orginally took it to clear up my skin. I had a period after the first lot of pills, which was lighter and was only a few days long but was a normal red colour.

I finished my second pack last week and this Monday as normal I came on but instead of the blood being red it was brown/black and thick but not alot of it (lasted four days). Is this normal because ive recently changed my pill or should i be worried?

I'm currently in America and will be for the next six weeks (I'm british) so I can't see my GP.

Please reply soon, I'm worried.

The first time i ever had my period it was that colour.I could imagine it being due to you changing pills.If it really bothers you, go see a gyno or try asking on a gyno forum.
