Not likely pregnant: Check a HPT if you are concerned,, but not likely pregnant. Even with OCP you may see some variation in the character of the flow. "Brownish " tends to be old blood vs the bright red that may show at the end of the flow. It is also possible to skip a withdrawal bleed on the pill if you are stressed. Continue to take the pill at the same time every day and use condoms for additional protection
