Is It Normal To Have Dark Bleeding On Missing Birth Control, Having Sex?

I recently started my menstrual cycle Sunday January 12 2014 after taking a pill the OBGYN gave me 5 days before to jump start my period. I had my normal cycle 7 days and iy wasn t to heavy just normal. As of today (1/27/14) I woke up this morning and wiped saw that there was a dark discharge that later turned dark red. Note I did have unprotected sex either Tuesday 1/21/14 or 1/22/14 and I had just started taking birth control again Sunday 1/19/14 after being off birth control for 5 months. Only took the birth control for 3 days then missed the rest. I know this is all very irresponsible in the birth control but need to know best thing to do and need to know.

Hello.
Thanks for writing to us.
On missing a birth control pill you can have an irregular and mild dark colored bleeding due to withdrawal bleeding. most of the tines this bleeding subsides on its own.
I hope this information has been both informative and helpful for you.
