Hi,
The brown blood you notice is most likely "break through bleeding" from missing so many pills, and is normal.
Do you have the instructions that came with your pill pack? Please read over these instructions, as it is important to take your prescription the correct way (even if you miss pills, there is a correct way to "make up" for these). Usually, if you miss 2 pills, you double-up. When you miss 3 pills, you need to stop taking the pills and wait until your period to begin a new pack. This is typical, and may not apply to your pills---it is important to follow the instructions after a missed pill (or 2 or 3) and not just randomly double-up.
And, if you miss pills, which happens, it is very important to own up to it and make sure to use a condom so that you are still protecting yourself from an unwanted pregnancy.
have you looked at other birth control options that does not require you to remember to take a pill every day? There are some methods that you only need to remember once a month, or even once every three months!
