What Causes Brown Vaginal Spotting During Menstruation?

My period isnt supposed to start until late next week but I started spotting saturday morning. It turned brown later that night and wasn't much at all but the next day it was a streak and was red ..later it turned brown.. and this is now the fourth day and it's a little more but not enough for a pad but it's red. And it turns brown so e and then red again.. not too much but I'm starting to question if I'm ok.. because I read about implantation bleeding and it's scaring me.I tested everyday and they all 4 were negative. Can u please explain this..?

Hi Welcome to HEALTHCARE MAGIC..

I have gone through your query and can understand your concern...

First of all this type of bleeding can happen in a menstrual period. So you had your period earlier then expected that's all. Menstrual bleeding can range from red to brown in color with heavy bleeding on one or two days. Implantation bleeding occurs in 1/3rd of women only & it is red in color & quantity is very less just as spotting. Also if it was implantation bleeding you must have felt some signs of pregnancy such as nausea, vomiting, mood swings etc.
You shouldn't worry about implantation bleeding, it is your normal period. You have also done 4 pregnancy test also, so you are not pregnant

Don't worry
Hope this information helps
