On combination birth control pills.. had sex on 8/14, started my inactive pills on 8/18 and period began on 8/20 or 8/21.. have had mainly only brown blood this time is this normal? i have never missed any days of pills?

"Inactive" pills are just that, and your period . although "brown" in color, started on time. You are likely not pregnant, and tour pills can be changed if you have intramenstrual bleeding or a scant period.
