What Causes Brownish Discharge After Taking Birth Control Pills?

I am 21 years old. I have been on birth control pills for 8 months & this month I missed the first two pills on accident. I have had sex without protection & I ended up getting my period early. It was brownish & then regular for a day & for almost a week I have been bleeding brownish blood. It stopped for a day then started bleeding but very little & this time it was red

Hi,
I have gone through the query and understood your concern. The current irregular spotting you have is most likely the result of abnormal hormone balance. The two pills you have missed are likely to have created an unprotected cycle. Since you also had unprotected intercourse during this period, pregnancy also should be excluded through a blood test and a sonogram of the pelvis, preferably in the trans-vaginal route. If negative, you need to have hormone supplements for a couple of cycles to bring back the normal hormone milieu. Hope this helps.
