breakthrough bleeding

I started a new brand of birth control pills last month (switched from high dose to lower dose)and missed one pill. A week before my period was due I was experiencing spotting that was light and brown colored, which was to be expected because I am aware that switching pills can cause breakthrough bleeding. But my question is: Does breakthrough bleeding replace my expected period?? My period was suppose to have come 6 days ago but I still have that light brown spotting, no heavy red blood. Should I be concerned that there has not been my usual heavy red flo?? What do you ladies think?

Welcome!


Since it's your first month on a lower dose pill, I wouldn't worry too much.
