Hi,
Thanks for the query.
The possible causes for your brown spotting are:
-Inter-menstrual spotting as side effect of oc pills.
-As you missed the pill we cannot exclude the possibility of pregnancy.
So now,
If you don't want the pregnancy continue the pills as usual, and after completion of active pills, if you do not get withdrawal bleeding, better to go for pregnancy test once.
Take care.
