HI, I understand your concern. Minastrin Fe is a combined contraceptive with iron. Which is supposed to be taken regularly at same time every day. Missing pills/ dropping the pills causes hormonal disturbance- causing a delayed period in your case. The brown pills are non hormonal pills causing withdrawal bleeding. Even if you skin them, withdrawal bleeding will occure,provided the pills were taken regularly throughout the month--- But you had taken them irregularly, causing delay, blackish bleeding. Thanks.
