Hi, My period was due on 20th, but I have been experiencing brown discharge since 13th, which continues till now. It is light, occurring about once a day. Should I take a pregnancy test now, or wait until my period is missed?

Brown discharge before your expected period can happen due to hormonal fluctuations or implantation bleeding if you are pregnant. Since your period is due on 20th, you can wait until your period date, and if it does not start, take a urine pregnancy test at that time. If the brown discharge increases, has a foul smell, or is accompanied by pain, consult your doctor. Otherwise, monitor your symptoms and maintain hydration while waiting for your period. Consider a Beta HCG test to confirm the diagnosis.

Take a UPT Test (Urine Pregnancy) Test or Take a Beta HCG Test Test

View allI had my period for six days. On the 9th day after my period, we had protected intercourse, but due to some confusion, I took an ipill within 48 hours. I experienced a small amount of brown discharge with some clots and abdominal pain, for which I used a sanitary napkin. I took a urine pregnancy test after the brown discharge, and it was negative. Could I still be pregnant?

I had intercourse on 22nd, and during a checkup on 27th, the doctor said that the egg had already ruptured. What are the chances of getting pregnant, and when should I take a pregnancy test?

Sir, I have been suffering from lower abdominal pain and back pain for the last 2 days. Urine report says infection. I had unprotected sex also. My periods are also due. Is this a symptom of pregnancy?
