Hi I started birth control some time last month I'm thinking around the 16th okay well I missed taking 3 pills so I just took two the next day to at Least make up for missing those two days then I did not take them same time everyday I have had sex all diff times during this unprotected using pull out method ok when I forgot those pills I started bleeding (was that my period early bc I stoped my bc a few days??) and then see I skipped two more pills then did not take the ending last week pills ok my period is not here yet ??? I've had dark brown discharge every day similar to spotting I guess u can say but no period ! I've taken a preg test but it was a cheap $1 one and it was negitve but I may have taken it to soon ! I have had all early preg symptoms but how do I know if I missed my period n am pregnat

Hi,
Firstly, the erratic way in which you have taken the pills could have created hormonal disturbance and the cycle is not protected. The cause of the spotting could be due to several withdrawal bleeds due to uneven use of the pills. Anyway, you should also exclude pregnancy, but, in the present situation, it would be better if you can go for the blood test as urine test may not be helpful. Please see a gynecologist and get a proper evaluation and advice. Take care.
