Hello,

I peep normally, not pregnant, and having irregular period but when I wipe down there, it show dark/light brown color? Should I contact my nurse? Is it because of the birth control?

    Are you taking the oral contraceptive?This brown spotting is called breakthrough bleeding and its because your body is adjusting to the new hormones. Its very common but if it gets heavy then see your nurse but it should settle down.
