I missed one pill, but took two the next day. Now I’m bleeding like I’m on my period. Why??

Because of missing a pill

Missing a pill can sometimes trigger break through bleeding

That’s what can happen when you miss a pill.

Does that mean I wasn’t protected? I had sex the night I missed the pill.

If you followed your pamphlets instructions you were protected

Bleeding is not an indicator of protection. Read your pamphlet on what to do when you miss a pill in the specific pillweek that you did.

If you’re on a combined pill that’s not listed here then you’re fine {PS-Eq1x22} it’s normal to get heightened side effects when you miss a pill x
