Welcome to EmpowHer and thank you for your post. First off, you are right-- brown blood= old blood. Sometimes our body needs to release a bit of old blood that has remained and it is absolutely normal. I noticed your post is dated November 20th which was 3 days ago-- are you still bleeding?
Missing your pills 3 days in a row while having unprotected sex can certainly lead to pregnancy. You are not late yet, so I wouldn't recommend taking a pregnancy test until you are actually late on your period this month. The brown spotting or discharge can come from old blood that remains to be expelled or it can come from what is known as implantation bleeding. Implantation bleeding is a bit of spotting whether it is from pinkish to brownish colored that occurs as a result of implantation of the fertilized egg into your uterus.
