Can I Get Pregnant Post Unprotected Sex Despite Missing A Birth Control Pill?

I recently stopped taking birth control 4 days ago. My boyfriend and I had unprotected sex that day. Two days after that I started to experience a pink discharge and then it turned to brown the next day. Could it just be a side effect from coming off of birth control?

Hi, I have gone through your question and understand your concerns. Spotting or pink discharge after stopping the birth control pills is generally due to the withdrawal effect of the hormones from the body.
Hope you found the answer helpful.
Wishing you good health.
