Pregnancy test shows that u r pregnant
Slightly brown and blood stained discharge is normal in early pregnancy
But coz u have a recurring bleed there is a good chance that you are going to have an abortion
Better u do a scan once you have absent periods for about 6weeks in total to rule out abortion, more important is to rule out a tubal pregnancy if occurs can bleed inside ur abdomen n lead even to death
It is better that you avoid any more sex at least in initial pregnancy in case u want to continue the pregnancy
