Hi,

Thanks for your query.

I read your query with diligence and I understand your concerns.

It is unlikely for you to be pregnant.

Sometimes the normal menstrual cycle has less bleeding brown-pinkish discharge as you have described. Hence that was your cycle bleeding. Moreover pregnancy test also showed negative results. So you may not be pregnant.

If you are still not convinced, I suggest get a blood test called beta hCG. It is confirmatory for your pregnancy.

I hope I answered your query. Let me know if you need further assistance.
