Hi I am on boirth control but have missed a few pills and have had unprotected sex, he did ejaculate in me. I have had brown spotting for about three weeks now, this has never happened to me and ive been on the pill for about 6 years now. I was supposed to start my period yesterday and it never came and took a preg test about ten days before my missed period, reading negative of course. What could this mean?
It is not unusual for you to start to bleed if you miss more than two pills in a month. This bleeding generally will stop when your actual period is due. As long as you are not pregnant you can start a new pack when this one finishes.
Breakthrough bleeding can become a problem if you take your pill at irregular times. Try to set an alarm or email reminder every day for yourself to take your pill.
I hope I was adequately able to answer your question today and that my advice was helpful.
Best wishes, Dr. Brown
