Hello doctor, I had spotting, thread-like, once a day on 7, 8, and 9 DPO, then it stopped. Again, from 13 DPO, I am having brown discharge. Today, on 15 DPO, I am having a little more discharge. I am also suffering from mild to moderate back pain since 4 DPO and today I had light cramps on and off. My period is late by 4 days. I took a pregnancy test at 12 DPO but it was negative. What may be the reason for these symptoms and on and off spotting?

Spotting around your period date can happen due to hormonal fluctuations or delayed periods. Mild cramps and back pain can occur before periods or in early pregnancy. A negative test at 12 dpo may be early; repeat a urine pregnancy test now or after 2 days. If the test is negative again and spotting continues, consult your doctor to check for hormonal imbalance. You can book a Serum Beta hCG test for a more accurate pregnancy confirmation.

This is my test report. Does it mean I am pregnant or not? I do not need a child soon, as it has been only 2 months and 3 days of marriage, and I need time to get adjusted with everything. My question is, if I do the test again after 3 weeks, can the result be negative? This is a beta HCG test.

My wife is facing some breathing issues since last one month. She is not able to complete her breath or feels short of breath and sometimes she has excessive yawning but cannot complete her yawn. In between for one week she was fine but again the same problem started. She also missed her period last month. Six months back she had a medical abortion. Today she had a blood test but her blood sample seemed to be a little dark in colour instead of bright red. We are waiting for the blood report. Kindly advise what could be the reason for this?
