A member asked:
Missed pill. my period is 3 days late and im having cramping and light brown discharge/spotting instead, early sign of pregnancy?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Possible: Always a possibility, especially with missed pills. But could also be your period a little late, could be breakthrough bleeding from the pills, could be from other causes - fibroids, ovarian cysts, stress, lots of things can cause irregular bleeding. Always best to rule out pregnancy first.
