I am currently taking the pill but on Friday 1st DEC i realised that i had forgot to take it at my usually time and took it later in the day. By that time i had discovered brown discharge on my underpants. I first thought i had my periods but they are not due until Wednesday 6th DEC.

My last period was normal and on time, even a few days shorter then what my usual time length but the period before that didn't come and i didn't even try and skip it i was still taking my pill like normal and had not forgot a day. I thought i was pregnant but a home pregnancy test come out negative.

I don't know why i am having this, is it normal?:confused:

Many women will experience brown discharge at the start and/or the end of a period. This can happen each cycle or it may happen just now and then. When using birth control pills, a sllight shift in timing may be enough for it to happen in some women. Irregular spotting or bleeding is also not uncommon when using birth control pills.
