I've missed my bc pills on and off this pack and on last active pill i have brown discharge and very bad cramps? why? am i pregnant?

Probably not: Skipping days might result in early or heavier/lighter bleeding than expected. You're probably not pregnant but you should make sure with a test. If you're having trouble remembering the pills you might consider another method such as nuvaring, Mirena (levonorgestrel) iud, or depoprovera shots.
