A member asked:

A doctor has provided 1 answer

If the pregnancy test was done prior to onset of bleeding, the home pregnancy test may not detect low levels of HCG. The brown discharge may represent pregnancy outside the uterus (ectopic), so obtain a serum HCG test, which will detect low levels of HCG. Regardless of the results, see your gyn provider for an exam and other testing, as there are other causes for bleeding possible.
