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.

I had anal sex for the first time with my partner, and since we were inexperienced, the condom tore. We were worried about the possibility of sperm reaching the vaginal area. This happened two days after my period ended (on Monday), and I took Unwanted 72 within two hours. Now, after seven days (on Sunday), I experienced some light bleeding. I am considering visiting a doctor for a checkup. Will the doctor be able to find out if I took the pill through any test for irregular bleeding? Can I be assured that there is no chance of pregnancy?

My last period was on 26 July, and I usually have a 28 day cycle. Today is the 36th day of my cycle, and I still have not gotten my period. I took a home pregnancy test yesterday, and it was negative. Will my period come normally, and what should I do now?
