Spotting for about 5days. pregnancy test came back negative. period suppose to start in 3days. possible pregnancy?

Unlikely: Unlikely but technically yes it is possible. If your menses does not achieve full flow in the next 3 days then check another pregnancy test. The spotting just indicates that your progesterone levels are dropping and that your lining is beginning to break down.
