Q: I am 29 years old, mother of a 2 year old son. I have just stopped taking contraceptive pill (Femillon) and since then I am having very dark vaginal discharge. It is little more then spotting. Is it normal? What are the conception days?

A:The periods could be dark possibly because you stopped the pills in between. Just wait for this cycle and see if the periods become alright on their own. The fertile period is from 11th to 18th day of any cycle.
