Brief Answer:
Possible chances of pregnancy

Detailed Answer:
Hello mam, thanks for trusting health care magic.
You have fair chances of pregnancy because you haven't got your periods in proper flow even after 5 days of brownish spotting which is not the usual pattern for you.
in my opinion you should do a urine pregnancy test.
If positive its a good news but if negative wait for proper flow.
If you get your periods its alright but in case you don't get them in a week from now then you should visit your gynecologist as soon as possible.
This amenorrhoea with brownish discharge can be an early sign of tubal ectopic pregnancy or a dying intrauterine pregnancy.
i hope i have answered your question but in case you have other queries i will be happy to help.

Brief Answer:
Tubal ectopic pregnancy needs to be evaluated

Detailed Answer:
Hello, good to see you again.

The most probable reason for this pattern is
- either a tubal ectopic pregnancy.
- or duphaston dependent state of uterus.

In my opinion wait for 2 more days and in case same pattern persists get an ultrasound done and visit your gynecologist with reports.

Once you get full flow of your period and your ultrasound is normal you can start planning for pregnancy.

Best days for achieving a successful conception are from 10-18 th day of cycle.
Having sex every alternate day in these days is most fruitful.

Wish you the best of health. Take care.
