Can I Get Pregnant Post Unprotected Sex Despite Missing A Birth Control Pill?

I forgot to take a contraceptive pill on day 13 (I take Mirelle) and that same day I had a Brown Discharge. I continued taking the pills as usual and at the end of my cycle I had again a brown discharge for about 3 days instead of my period. Is that normal? Is there a chance that I might be pregnant?. I hope you can help me.

Hello
I understand your concern. Once you forget the oral contraceptive pill and take it on second day then also you are protected. Brown vaginal discharge mainly occurs due to old blood coming from uterus. so no need to worry about the discharge and also you are protected from pregnancy as you did not missed the pill for continuous 2 days. if you missed the pill for 2 days then you are unprotected and chances of pregnancy is there. so continue with pill and enjoy life
hope this helps
thanks
