I'm on birth control amd missed a pill about 3 weeks ago and have had a brown discharge ever since and i'm starting to worry. is this normal?

No: It's not unusual to have some spotting if you miss a pill but it doesn't normally last for 3 weeks. Call your clinic. Sometimes abnormal discharge is related to infection or pregnancy.

Birth control: Your irregular period may be related to poor compliance to your birth control and should resolve with time.
