I have been taking birth control for a long time... Just started my period on the 20th.. and is now the 26th... I haven't had my pills in a few days either... My period is also usually brown, awhile back the doc told me that is b/c of my pills and b/c I've been taking them for soo long... Now.. my period is like a bright red.. it's not heavy right now.. it's more spotting to medium... Should I be concerned... or is it my body being confused from not having the pill in a few days? (Like about a week..) Nothing should happen right if it's just my period still.. right? I'm concerned b/c I've have a miscarriage about acouple years back.. If it lasts longer then 7 days or so.. I think I should go to the doc's... But.. it very may well be my period be extended a bit.. and also b/c i haven't had my pills in a few days... And I know the past 5 days have been my period b/c I keep track as to when my period will show up...
Please lemme know what your thoughts are... Thanx!

Bright red blood is new blood with the period. If you are having to change the pads often (like every hour) then that is a sign that something is wrong. Brown blood is just old blood. But spotting is ok and can be as a result of not having been on the pill for a few days. I had this happen when I missed a pill on a Sat about a month and a half ago.
I would definitely recommend getting in touch with your dr again to let them know what is going on to see what they think and say about this.
