Hello. I am 22 years old and have been on the pill for about 4 years now. I missed a pill a few days ago, took it that night when i remembered and then took the pill the regular time the next day. I have not had sex since the missed pill and I don't usually miss pills. Well yesterday I started having dark brown spotting and really bad cramps. I'm not supossed to start my period for a week.
Is it due to the missed pill or could I be pregnant? Kinda freaking out here.

It is normal. Your body was preparing for your period, hence the old blood. You should be fine. You can always call your doctor, if you are worried.

Don't panic, "sptting" is normal when you miss a pill or have just started taking the pill. I regullarly forget to take my pill and i end up with the spotting, follwed with severe cramp. I'd say im 99% sure you are def not pregnant :)

As a nurse and would tell you it's probably breakthrough bleeding and that is related to hormones not necessarily pregnancy. But never hurts to take a pregnancy test; if it's been more than 14 days since you last had sex and its negative you should most likely be out of the woods.

there is a possibility, but you could not be too. maybe get a pregnancy test just to be sure. try not to stress out thought because that can cause your period to be late and then you'll stress out even more.

it is old blood from the last period = also your body thought it was going into period time=nothing to worry about
