Q:
I am currently on the pill and have been for about a year and a half. A few weeks ago I missed a pill and didn't realize it until the next day. I also engaged in sex on the night I forgot to take it. Since that night I have had a brown colored discharge, as well as have been spotting before my period. Then when it got to be the week of my period I had severe cramps for the first few days with a heavier flow than normal, and a shorter period as well. I am just wanting to know if I should be concerned and go see a doctor, or what could be going on. Thanks!
A:
Any significant change in your menstrual pattern deserves an evaluation to determine if it may be pregnancy or infection caused. It is wisest to be checked.
