Hello,
Since you have not missed any pill, having made up for the one that you missed too, your cycle is protected. Yet, it is always advisable to use additional protection during the first couple of cycles after initiating the pill because ovulation may occur. If you are taking progesterone pills, you need to be extra careful. All sorts of menstrual disturbances are seen with pill usage and this brownish discharge appears to be one of them, a breakthrough bleed. Please get help from a specialist after a clinical evaluation. Please do not worry, pregnancy is unlikely. Take care.
