Hi,

This week I missed taking the pill for 2 days in a row (17 & 18th April 2021) and suddenly today around 5ish when I went to toilet, I found brown discharge like how a women normally get before the first day of period and around 6ish also today I found out that I am bleeding. Please do advise me! Thanks
