vaginapagina | Missing one pill and then period starting?

Hi all, I've been a reader for ages, but have never posted here. Anyways, on to my more than interesting story..

I missed Monday's pill and took it with Tuesday's pill. I took Wednesday's pill like I am supposed to. But, I was sick Thursday night and fell asleep without taking it. Friday morning I woke up with a bit of brownish sludge coming and was slightly cramping- so with more than a week of pills to finish off; I left them on the bedside table and stuck a tampon in. And I've got a full blown period as well, usually when I'm in my hormone free week it takes a couple of days for the onset to begin.

My biggest concern here is that I know I have a hormonal problem (Pseudo Tumor Cerebri) and only in the last 7 months was I able to start taking HBC (again, I was on it for 2 years previously). I'm usually pretty good about taking my pills, however, with the undue stress at work and with school in the coming weeks- I'm considering just skipping out on the pill completely and asking my neurologist about having an IUD inserted. (I know in the States usually we go through our OB/GYN,here in the Netherlands, you have to get a recommendation from a doctor. )

At least then it is inserted, it may be hormonal or copper (depending on what my Doctor recommends) I can forget about worrying about taking something. But my question is- does anyone out there have have PTC or PCOS and have been recommended not to get the IUD? I know the two diseases are supposedly interlinked, so it is something I want checked out by my doctors (I do not have PCOS or at least have been diagnosed with it.) I'm concerned because in a few years, I do want children. But for now I want to be protected so I do not get pregnant! If not an IUD, any other suggestions for BC? Help?!?
