Why is my body sending mixed messages?
September 8th, 2010 | 
Author: The past two days my body has been doing all sorts of things that I am unsure how to perceive.
I am on the pill and have regularly been consuming my dose. This past week I missed a dose though, but "caught up" the following day.
On Sunday I had unprotected sex
On Tuesday I started to experience some light bleeding (bright red blood, that only came about when I peed). At first I thought it may have been my period, but I am not supposed to start my period until next Monday.
Today the flow of blood has increased slightly and color ranges from bright red to light brown. More reason for me to think it’s my period, right?
Every time I have gone to the bathroom today I experience some lower abdominal pain after I have pee (almost like an extreme sensation to urinate…minus the urine).
So I hope someone can understand the confusion I may be experiencing, because the reasoning behind all of this could range from life changing to petty.
Reading mildly related questions I have only been able to grasp onto the following concepts:
-Missing a dose in my birth control caused in abnormality in my cycle
(I have been on the pill for 5 months now)
-I’m experiencing early stages of pregnancy (with bleeding and abnormal abdominal pains??)
Any feedback is appreciated…
Thanks

The fact that you missed one dose of your cycle can cause some irregularities in your period, but there is a slight chance of a woman getting pregnant after this, and because you had unprotected sex after the missed dose, but this is only one week ago. The only way to know is if you get a pregnancy test at home, and rule out the pregnancy.
The symptoms you are describing, the urging to urinate and the supra-pubic pain can be symptoms of a urinary tract infection, so you should drink lots of water, don´t retain your urine, if need to go, go to the bathroom. But I suggest you get examined by a doctor, because if you are pregnant, the bleeding can be the implantation of the egg or a threaten of abortion, and also a UTI is a risk during pregnancy.
I most likely think you are experiencing some cycle changes do to the missed dose and some urinary tract infection, but is always better to be sure that one is not pregnant.
Good luck, hope I helped you in some way.
Go to the local clinic to see if they can check you out.
I actually think you might have an infection Bacterial Vaginosis (sorry about the spelling) BV is common and can be treated with antibotics Go to your doctor just to be sure.
