Is Pregnant Possible While Have Brown Vaginal Spotting,chills,body Ache And While Also Having Negative Test Result?

Hello. So about a month ago I began to have intercourse, and our method of contraception is the withdrawal method (as per the proper safety precautions). However, about a week ago on the 2nd of January I began to spot light brown and it has fluxuated from dark to none at times. If a cotton swab is inserted the blood near the cervix is red. At first I believed this to be implantation bleeding, but I have no other symptomes until tonight. However, I cannot tell if they are related.

My new symptomes are chills and general, flu-like achiness around my body.

I should be recieving my normal period within the last day or so, however I continue to fluxuate with brown spotting- and today I took a pregnancy test which showed negative.

Hello and welcome to HCM,
Pregnancy test is the most sure method to confirm or rule out pregnancy.
Menstrual irregularities are common in healthy menstruating women.
There is nothing much to worry about the menstrual irregularities.
You need to observe your cycles for couple of months.
If the cycles are irregularly irregular, you need to consult your gynecologist for examination and relevant investigations.
Withdrawal method is not 100% secure to prevent pregnancy.
There are chances of conceiving even after practicing withdrawal method of contraception.
The symptoms of body aches and flu like symptoms suggest infection most probably viral infection.

Thanks and take care
