I missed 3 weeks of birthcontrol pills could that be why i'm having a lil brown discharge and gas but i also had unprotected sex what's wrong with me?

Specializes in Obstetrics and Gynecology

Take a test: If you stopped the pills then that triggers bleeding. It is unrelated to gas. If you had unprotected sex then take a home pregnancy test and schedule a visit for STD testing.
