hi all, i hope you could help me w this. i am on a birth control for 1 year. recently, me and husband had an intercourse 2-3 days after my period. after our intercourse, i had a very heavy brownish red discharge, its almst a week now but i'm still having it (discharge). now, i am experiencing lower pains and giddiness wc is unbearable. another thing is, i remember i missed my pill. so i took 2 pills the following morning. im not sure whether my pill is ok taking it at the same time ( my pill's name is exluton). so i don't know if whether i can be pregnant or its just normal since i've taken 2 pills in one shot.

When you miss a pill and take 2 pills in the same day, you are still pretty well protected. However, by going so long without taking a pill (the day you missed it), your body might have started to go through the pill withdrawal which causes your "period" (put in quotes because periods on birth control aren't technically a period since a woman doesn't ovulate).

This could cause spotting, which seems to be what you are experiencing. If you are worried you can take a pregnancy test 14 days after you missed your pill and it should be accurate. I don't think there is a very high chance of you being pregnant, though, since you took two pills the next day as soon as you remembered.

Good luck!
