A member asked:

Stopped pill after period. brown discharge in mid cycle(6days).expecting period last 20 but did not arrive. am i preg?or bcause of stopping pills?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Because of stop pill: It's very common for the following period to be late after stopping the pill, usually 1-2 weeks late. I'm not sure why you had brown discharge. Pregnancy is possible, so i'd do a pregnancy test. It's likely to be negative. If so, i'd give your period a little more time to come.
