I missed two bc pills and got a heavy period- waited and started a new pack after it finished. new pack and my period was only brown discharge - why?

Takes Time: When you miss pills and start a new pack, your body becomes temporarily confused about the signals its getting. Sometimes it takes another month or two of taking the pill correctly for your period cycle to syncronize with the pills and to go back to normal. Best wishes!
