Even with out the pill, I had times in life when my period was delayed due to illness, stress or regulating to the timing of other women I was around. In these cases, the blood was a darker brownish color for about 2 days followed by a pale pink for a half to full day before starting regular flow. This happens often with women regardless of their birth control method and shouldnt be need for concern. There are side affects to any hormonal birth control and below is a site for yours so you can look it up. Break through bleeding for first 3 months is not uncommon so if that happens too, its part of what comes with taking the pill. There are more side effects that are just a hassle or uncomfortable or could be a severe reaction and the Dr. needs to know, so read the list carefully.
I went on line just by searching for the word Nordette and here's one of the links:

From what I read,Sounds to me like the pill must be taken daily or at least no further apart then 24 hrs for a missed pill. It does say if you miss a day you increase your risks of becoming pregnant.
So since Nordette is your protection, I must assume if you say you had no protection that you weren't taking the pill for a period of time. If you find it too difficult to take it regularly, then you may want to ask you Dr. about a no fuss contraceptive like the implant under the skin, the patch, the shot or IUD, and that way you won't miss any days. It is also important to start taking the whole package at the time it suggests like the Sunday following your period to start a package. I do not know why it must be started at that time buts thats what the article says.
