It's common, when coming off a method of hormonal contraception, for it to take a while for your cycles to come back around and find their "normal" for your body off that medication. Do you have any reason to suspect a potential pregnancy? In other words, since you went off the pill, have you had any intercourse without using a method of reliable contraception properly?

If the discharge was on the outside of the condom, then it was most likely from you (we can't say for sure, as we weren't there)
