Hello,
Thanks for posting your query.
The mild brownish spotting that you are having is likely to turn into a full flow period over next 1-2 days. Sometimes such minor spotting preceeds the actual bleeding. Please do not worry.
In case the proper bleeding does not start in next few days the hormonal imbalance and anaemia needs to be ruled pout after proper blood investigations.
Hope this answers your query. I will be glad to answer the follow up queries that you have.
Please accept my answer in case you do not have further queries.
Wishing you good health.
Regards.
Dr. Rakhi Tayal.
