Brown spotting after getting off birth control

[marieg0219]

I got off birth control 7 months ago and ever since I have had brown spotting for about one week before my period. I have had a battery of tests done for hormone levels, STDs, thyroid, cysts, etc. and everything has come back normal (thankfully!). My periods are regular and predictable, and I'm using OPKs and know I'm ovulating regularly as well. At my last appointment my doctor said there's nothing else to be tested for and that my body might just be adjusting from stopping the pill. Has anyone else had a problem like this? I feel like my body should be back to normal by now. Thanks in advance for any advice!

How long were you on birth control, or have you ever been?

Brown/black spotting us usually old blood left over from the last cycle. I don't get it for a whole week but last cycle i had one day of brown spotting before AF.
