What Causes Delayed Periods Along With Dark Brown Vaginal Spotting?
Hi, I have some questions about pregnancy. Me and my fiancé have been ttc for 1 year now. I missed my period last month and was eager to know. Waited awhile to take a hpt and got a negative. About a week or so later I went to planned parenthood to find out for sure since I was showing all signs of pregnancy. They told me to wait a week or two and to come back for a test. I waited and decided to take another hpt instead of going back to planned parenthood. Because cost there were ridiculous. I even had signs of implantation bleeding. Dark red/brown discharge. That lasted about a week. The hpt came out negative. But took another one a week later and it was positive. Next day took another to confirm it and it was negative again. Again I missed last months period. But today I got my period. It started off as dark brown/red. But as the day went by it became a normal period. I don t have a doctors appointment until the 9th of February. And would like answers sooner. Any help is appreciated.
Assuming you have always had a regular period, the description could be of 2 possibilities:
1. An irregular period which manifested due to various causes like stress, infections, medications, etc; or just simply because you had irregularities in the past and are prone to them
2. A possible miscarriage
