Hi, i am on the pill and had my period a week ago. i missed two days of the pill and took it again normally and i have now got a brown discharge?

Two Pills: If you miss pills for 2 days, take 2 pills the day you remember and 2 pills the next day. You will then be back on schedule. If you didn't do this, you should call your Gyn for instructions or read the package insert. You should also use a back-up method such as condoms, until you start your next pack. Missing 2 pills can give you some spotting. Best wishes!

Breakthrough bleedin: Because of the missed pills you are experiencing "breakthrough bleeding". Don't stop taking your pills. It will make the bleeding worse.
