I'm a sunday starter.. but at the beginning of this pack I started on monday because I did not get my new pack in time as my pharmacy is closed on sundays. On monday I took sunday's pill and monday's pill. Then I took tuesday's pill and later that night I had sex with my boyfriend without a condom. Is there a chance that I am pregnant? I'm really worried.

I've only had the discharge I normally have at any other time of the month.

Yesterday ended my placebo pill week...I did not have any bleeding. I did however have light brown discharge on Tuesday (the day my period usually starts). What does this mean...?

Light brown discharge could be spotting, or it could be "breakthrough bleeding" as Susan said above. None of this is harmful.

You said this occurred Tuesday (about 5 days ago), and I'm wondering if you've had any other bleeding/discharge/spotting since then?

No, I understand that. Thank you.. So what you're saying is that my chances of being pregnant are very low?

And, could you please explain to me why its good that it happened at the beginning of my cycle?? I'm not sure I understand..

Yes, I will. Actually I always take every pill at the same time every day. This is the only time I've had a slip up. I usually pick up my new pack on the Saturday before but that weekend I was busy and forgot. I have not had any breakthrough bleeding just yet.

Also, it will be 3 weeks this coming sunday/monday since I started my new birth control pack.
