Hi,

There is chance of pregnancy as you missed two pill. Its efficacy will be decreased as you missed two tablet. Your light period could be due to implantation bleeding. I would suggest to go for urine pregnancy test and or blood HCG, 7 days after normal expected period date. If pregnancy will be there then manage accordingly after consulting gynecologist.

In absence of pregnancy it could be due to hormonal imbalance, migraine attack, hypoglycemia. You can take analgesic tablet like Diclofenac for pain, tablet Pantoprzole + Domperidone, gentle breast massage with prime rose oil.

Eat healthy diet, drink plenty of water, avoid stress, maintain proper pelvic hygiene.

Hope this may help you. Contact further if follow up needed.

Best regards,
Dr. Sagar
