What Causes A Brown Discharge During Menstruation?
I had gotten my period two week ago and the cycle was normal. And i just got it again, it started as brown and when to a redish color. I am on the pill but I have had unprotected sex and I have missed the pill on some of the days. Could I be pregnant?

Hi,
I understand your query.
Your problem can be due to two things.
- Due to irregular consumption of oral pills you had withdrawal bleeding
- You have no contraceptive protection due to irregular intake of oral pills. Due to the unprotected sex , you have a chance to conceive. the bleeding you had might be implantation bleeding.
* the only way to exclude is Blood pregnancy test (HCG test) around your expected day of menses.
Thanks.
