Brief Answer:
Please get serum beta hCG blood test to confirm pregnancy

Detailed Answer:
Hi,

Thanks for your query.

I read your query and I understand your concerns about possibility of pregnancy.

Following is my reply:

1) Brown discharge traces with cramps what you have mentioned is likely to be start of your periods and not pregnancy.

2) Sometimes it is normal for periods to start off as brown discharge as you have described.

3) Pregnancy chances are not much though periods are late by 3 days.

4) If you still suspect pregnancy strongly, please get serum beta hCG blood test to confirm pregnancy which will give accurate results about pregnancy and put your mind at ease.

I hope I answered your query. I will be available for any follow up query you have.

Regards,
Dr. Soumya
