A member asked:
Is it possible to miss first period after stopping birth control pills??
2 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
Sure: If you got pregnant then you would miss a period. If you were taking birth control for irregular periods then now that you are not taking them you will go back to your usual irregular pattern. Once you stop pills you are back to your personal usual physiologic state.

Yes: If the endometrium from several months of pill use is minimal then the first expected period will also be minimal(brown discharge) or absent.

Hi, I'm on birth control and missed my first 2 pills but made up for them, I was a day late for my period and at the end of it, it was a brown color?
My period started on Tuesday, and I began a new pack of birth control on Sunday. I heard that if I take the pill within 5 days since the first day of my period, I'm protected immediately. Although, I missed one pill the first week. Am I still safe?
