Missed pills : When you stopped taking the pills you triggered withdrawal bleeding. You also exposed yourself to potential pregnancy. Use over the counter Plan B if sex was within 72 hours to decrease the risk of unplanned pregnancy. If pregnancy test is negative in 2 weeks consider a different birth control method
