HPT: The brown spotting might be old blood being cleaned from the uterus. It could be a very light period. Would recommend repeating the home pregnancy test again. Reasons for missed / late period include: an anovulatory cycle in which no egg is released, marked v or ^ in weight; eating disorder; Over-exercising (endurance athletics), stress, travel, significant illnesses, oral contraceptives & other
