What Causes Brown Discharge In Periods?

Hi,
I'm worried I am pregnant. I last had sex June 26, had my period from June 30 to Jul 3. Then 2 weeks after, I had this dark brown discharge from Jul 19-23. I took HPT Jul 20 and it said Negative. It's already August 3 now and I still don't have my period. The last time we did it, he didn't use condom but he didn't cum inside me. PLEASE HELP! I'm going nuts!

Hallow Dear,

If you had your period on June 30, you will not get urine pregnancy test positive on July 20 even if you had conceived. These tests give reliable results only 8-10 days after the missed period. The brown discharge you had could be Mittelschmerz - spotting at the time of egg release.

You had menses on June 30 - 4 days after the intercourse. So there is no possibility of pregnancy from the intercourse on June 26. If you had any intercourse around middle of July, there is a possibility of conception. Even if he has not ejaculated inside the vagina, there is always a possibility of precum being deposited unknowingly inside the vagina. Precum do contain sperms which can fertilize the egg. This pregnancy can be detected by doing urine pregnancy test after August 10.

If you had no intercourse after June 30, there is no possibility of pregnancy. In that case, take Tab. Deviry for 5 days and you will get the menses 4-7 days after.

I hope this gives you directions.
