<s>[INST] Hi there, good afternoon! So, here s my dilema... I m on the bc pill for 5 months now. Yesterday I forgot to take the pill at night as I usually do, and so I took it when I got home at 6 p.m ... And I went to the bathroom and noticed that my panties had a little thick brown discharge, but I cleaned after going to the bathroom and the paper didn t show a thing! I m sexually active at the moment and I m waiting for the night to take the pill at the normal hour. Am I doing this right ? Can anything be wrong because of the discharge ? Patiently waiting an answer please! [/INST] Hello ma'am and welcome. As is advised, if a dose is missed you should take it as soon as you remember and everything should be fine. But if you miss two consecutive doses, then it is best to discontinue the pill and use other forms of contraception. As you missed only one dose and took it as soon as you remembered, the only side effect would be a slight hormonal change which is why you presented with such symptoms. There is nothing to worry about ma'am. Hope this helps. Best wishes. </s>
