I am on the pill, but missed 2 pills. my period came 1 day late (always ontime), is very light, and mostly dark brown discharge. can i be pregnant?

Not likely: It is possible but not likely. The timing of the missed pills does influence the chance of pregnancy. Missing 2 pills in a row, or missing them mid cycle increases the odds. Missing them just before your expected period would decrease the odds. Consider putting a reminder on your phone or leaving the pills next to your tooth brush to remind you to take them at the same time may help.
