Hi,i've been on the pill for 7 years. last week i skipped 2 pills and had sex, now have like brown bloody discharge and cramping somethimes. advice ?

See details: Abnormal bleeding and cramps can occur if you missed your pills. If you had unprotected sex during this time you are at a greater risk of becoming pregnant. Since this happened last week, it is too late to take emergency contraception. If you do not get your period, check a pregnancy test.
