I missed some birth control pills then began to bleed brown, but then i had sex and the bleeding stopped why?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Spotting or pregnant: Missing birth control pills can lead to breakthrough bleeding and can also lead to accidental pregnancy especially if backup birth control such as condoms are not used.. A pregnancy test should be done if no period occurs as expected at the end of the pill pack.
