Could missing a birth control pill (I took it a day late) and taking antiobiotics for the past week make a period different than normal? Like a slightly different color and texture? Thanks...

Well if you are sexually active i hope your doctor told you to use other protection during the time you were on the antibiotics and for a while afterwards. Reason being is antibitoics lessen the effectiveness of birth cotnrol. So your strange period could be because you are pregnant,if you are sexually active that is. You might want to take a test to see what the results are.
Sometimes antibiotics or missing pills can mess with your period but not always.

I havent had sex... so I don't think thats a possibility.

My period is basically normal, except for the color and texture of it. I mean could a sudden change in diet or gaining of weight (from the diet) change the way I have my period? (I've only had it since yesterday, so I just might be worrying too much and making it different that way, but I don't know.) Sorry that was confusing...
