A member asked:

Was on the pill didn't come on my 7 day break, started a new pack and missed a few pills and now im getting brown gooey discharge instead off period?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Missing pills: Can cause break through bleeding. It is very important to take your birth control pills every day to give pregnancy prevention and control periods. Some people don't have periods even when taking the pills correctly.
