A member asked:

Had period 3 weeks ago, the regular 7 days. had pink spotting on sept.11, took hpt which was negative. but next few days, they were brown. prego?

Pregnancy Test: Simpler to do a pregnancy test if you are concerned. I suggest waiting till you actually miss a period. Brownish discharge after spotting may mean implantation or an unusual hormonal cycle. So, if you miss your period then do a pregnancy test.
