"Minigynon" bcp ?: Minigynon is a combination oral bcp, and depending on whether you did not start on time, or skipped some active pills, pregnancy is always "possible". A "brown discharge" may be appropriate for the type of "period" associated with low dose oral bcp's, but to be certain about pregnancy, obtain a serum HCG test.
