Missed a pill and was half a day late on one the same week, can i be pregnant?

I am currently taking Tri-all-Sprintec pills. I’ve been on them for about 5 months or so. My boyfriend and I haven’t been using other protection besides my pills. I went on vacation recently and on July 4 I completely missed my pill. I didn’t take that pill until today (July 16). On July 5 we had unprotected sex. I was half a day late taking it on July 8 and we had unprotected sex twice the following day. Starting July 14 I started getting brown discharge. No odor at all. Based on what I’ve said, do you think it’s implantation bleeding? Or is it just a side effect of missing a pill?

I don't think it is implantation bleeding but probably hormonal bleeding.  I'd suspect you did risk pregnancy by not taking your pills correctly  I'd wait 2.5 weeks until the last unprotected sex and go ahead and take a test.  You have to take your pills as instructed or it kind of defeats the purpose. :>)  We do spot when our hormones are shifting around.  Implantation bleeding is more something you read about on the internet than what really happens. Spotting makes more sense.  But don't have sex again until you've got your pill situation under control without condoms.  And test when it's been long enough to make sure you haven't gotten pregnant.
