What Causes Orange And Brownish Menstrual Bleeding?
Question: Please help me. I usually have a regular 27 to 29 day cycle. I started with very light bleeding this cycle on day 20 I am currently on day 28 and still have this very light bleeding. It is like a watery red orange and brown colour. I am trying to conceive but pregnancy test is negative I am worried about this unusual bleeding and it has been for 8 days (some days it just like spotting only when I wipe other days a pantyliner will do me all day). My actual period usually lasts 5 days. At first I thought maybe its implantation bleeding but since pregnancy test negative and it been for so long I have ruled it (should I rule pregnancy out?). Please help I am worried sick what is wrong with me. I have recently had a Kenalog injection for Hayfever (this has never bothered me before).
I am losing weight to try and conceive BMI was 43 it is now 40 and I am changing my diet to keep losing weight. I am worried at being 40 I have left it too late for a baby.
I am under a fertility specialist who says me and husband are healthy and no problems.
Clearblue fertility monitor only ever shows Low and High never Peak is this a problem my Consultant says dont use any predictor kits as it causes stress and they don't always work just to have regular intercourse 3 times a week

Brief Answer:
It could be due to hormonal changes.

Hello dear,
I have gone through your history and understand your concerns.
The chances of pregnancy in your case maybe there but pregnancy can only be rule out 7 days after your missed period date.
In your case this unusual bleeding or spotting could be due to hormonal changes caused by so many factors.
It could be your dietary changes, illness etc.
So you should wait and watch for your menses,if you missed your period by 7 days,get your pregnancy test done.
Hope found useful, feel free to ask more information.
