Update..

As before with the number of pills you missed and the fact you had unprotected sex it could be anything.
Yes, even pregnancy.

Have you taken a pregnancy test to find out?

If you are not pregnant do you think birth control pills are a good idea for you? Maybe if you have problems keeping track of taking pills you would be better with something like the nuva ring or patch?

With so many missed pills it'd be a good idea to take a test just incase.

Better the devil you know...

Good idea to make an appt to dicuss other tpyes of b/c - the pill isn't for everyone.

I have a left over test from the past, so maybe I will do it when ever I get a chance. Thanks for the replies, im trying to find out as much information as possible about other forms of birth control.

I've never heard of black discharge being a symptom of pregnancy.

When you have your period the dark brown discharge is blood, it's just old blood. So the bright red blood that you get toward the end of your period is no more real than the dark brown stuff, it is just newer.

This may sound gross, but did you notice a different smell? Menstrual blood has got a very distinct smell from other discharge or pregnancy bleeding. When you bleed during pregnancy it should never be the dark brown (old blood) because that is what is providing nutrients to the baby. Bleeding during pregnancy is usually red, and as I mentioned earlier, should smell completely different from menstrual blood... Almost like blood that's alive ( a lot of research says that period like bleeding during pregnancy is a tear that repairs itself and allows the pregnancy to continue).

However, if you had properly timed unprotected sex anything is possible. It is completely possible to have a symptom free pregnancy.

Either way, you should get your butt to a doctor.

Actually it is very possible to have light spotting around the time of implantation.
Because the spotting is often light it may not be expelled from the uterus right away and hence by the time it is - it maybe dark brown or blackish, and maybe mixed with mucus making it look like a discharge.

It wasnt like a normal period for me. My periods always start on a wednesday and last untill saturday. This time it started 5 days early, and the discharge/period was never red like it usually is. From the first day I started it was dark brown, almost black. And it wasnt my normal flow either.

I usually have to wear a tampon everyday and change it at least 2 times. But this I could wear a thin panty liner, and not need to change it all day long.

There was a very strong smell, but I didnt think anything of it.

I just wondered if it could of been from missing & catching up on pills. Or there was something more serious I should be worried about.

But I have never passed "old blood" instead of having a normal period.

Thanks kia...Ill take the test this weekend, and tell you guys how it comes out....
