Did you have unprotected sex close to the time or during the time you missed the pills?
This is the recommendation if you miss Ortho Tri-Cyclen Lo pills:
Missing a pill increases your risk of becoming pregnant.
If you miss one active pill, take two pills on the day that you remember. Then take one pill per day for the rest of the pack.
If you miss two active pills in a row in Week 1 or 2, take two pills per day for two days in a row. Then take one pill per day for the rest of the pack. Use back-up birth control for at least 7 days following the missed pills.
If you miss two active pills in a row in Week 3, or if you miss three pills in a row during any of the first 3 weeks, throw out the rest of the pack and start a new pack the same day if you are a Day 1 starter. If you are a Sunday starter, keep taking a pill every day until Sunday. On Sunday, throw out the rest of the pack and start a new pack that day.

It sounds like that brown discharge was all the period you are going to have this month. It may have been light because you took 3 pills at once. If your period was due 5/9 and you took a pregnancy test after that, and it was negative, then it is very unlikely that you are pregnant. Just keep taking the pills. You may have a heavier cycle next month.
