What Causes Brown Discharge On Missing Birth Control Pills?

I have been taking the mini pill for a year now and just in December I missed 2 days and on the third day took all three and had unprotected sex the following day. Now seven days later I have a brown discharge and my period isn t due for another 14 days. Could I be pregnant and can I find out now. Mind you I am 44.

Hello and welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service. I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.

Some kind of bleeding is common in case of missed pill. It is just altered blood and nothing to worry about it.
Pregnancy is very unlikely but you can go for a urine pregnancy test just for reassurance.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
