On Birth Control. Extremely Light Periods. Small Amount Of Brown Discharge After Having Unprotected Sex. Possible Pregnancy?

I have been on birth control for 6 months. I have had a period every month, although they were extremely light. Last month my fiancé was in town, and we had a lot of sex where he ejaculated inside me. I am on my 4th day of placebo pills and have only a very small amount of brown discharge. Is it possible that I am pregnant or should I consider this my period?

Hi,
Thanks for your query.
The chances of pregnancy are very less with contraceptive pills,if you are taking it continuously without break.
This brown discharge because of withdrawal bleeding of oral contraceptive pills.
So don't get tense if you overdue for your period go and consult a gynecologist.
Good Luck.
Take care.
