It's ok: missed periods are a common ( and desirable) side effect of birth control pills. if you have not missed any pills, the chance of pregnancy is less than 1%. to be sure , check a pregnancy test before starting the next pack but don't delay starting your next pack.

May be normal: Sometimes you will not have a period during the inactive pills, especially if you just started on the pill recently. If your period does not start at all in the next week, see your doctor. The clear discharge can be normal. Good luck!
