Hi Bella, Tracking your period is not a for sure way to avoid pregnancy. You're on birth control, and therefore do not need to absatin from sex anytime at all. It does not sound like you had a misscarriage to me. If you are having strange discharge, then you need to see your doctor ASAP. Stay on birth control if you don't want to get pregnant. See your doc!! Take care, MAggie
