Pregnancy unlikely: Having a normal, regular menstrual period means a woman is not pregnant... meaning she doesn't have to do a pregnancy test. That being said, a home urine pregnancy is very accurate by 3 weeks after sex, 1 week after missing a regular period, or 1 week after starting a "weird" period. If worried, one can check another home urine test one week after the first test.

Period started on the day it should have, red period started but I'm having brown blood with small brown clots as well. I also have cramping, is this a sign of pregnancy? I took an at home pregnancy test which was negative.
