A member asked:
I missed my birth control for a couple of days and had another period that month. is that a concern and what does brown discharge after a period mean?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Should see gyn: A slight amount of vaginal bleeding commonly occurs when a woman misses 1 or more days of bcp. She needs to make up the pills and also use foam and condoms to prevent pregnancy for the next couple weeks. Spotting after menses can represent a serious problem, please see your gynecologist.
