Can Brown Discharge From Vagina Suggest Pregnancy?

hi, well i had my last normal period on july 16-jjuly19.i was expecting my next period around augt 16, but nothing. i was begining to worry because i was not recieving my peeriod. than about a week and a half later i went to the bathroom and when i wiped i noticed that on the toilet paper there was a brown is liquid on the paper. for the rest of that day every time i went to the restroom and wiped, the same thing would appear on the toilet paper.i thought i was going to start my period, the next day i woke up and went to the restroom and noticed i was bleeding.i was relieved because i had started my period.but than around 7 pm that same day i stopped bleeding and have not bleed since.i have noticed that i have been feeling a little different. i have been having upper abdominal pains when i am sleeping at night. really sharp pains that i have never felt before. my lower back has been hurting a lot and i have been having frequent headaches. at on point my stomach was really bloated for about a week. and i have been dieting so i didnt understand why my stomach was getting bigger. it finall went down after about a week. i have also been getting lower stomach pain and really tender breast but still no period.i have also been having frequent heat flashes and cold flashes. i ttook a home pregnancy test and it came up negative.so maybe i was just stressing out about things. the weird thing is i have been loosing weight instead of gaining it, and have been going to the restrom a lot more than ofter.at times i feel like i have to go so bad and when i go to the toilet i cannot go.i i body tempature since last night has been very hot. i have been having a head ache in the back lower part of my head right above my neck. and my lower stomach feels swollen. it has felt swollen for a while. i took another test but still negative, and i still have not recieved my period. can i be pregnant?

Hi there,
After going through your question, I am of the opinion that:
1) Missed periods, vaginal spotting, frequent urination, hot and cold flashes, bloating, brown discharge could all mean that you are pregnant.
2) However, your home pregnancy tests are negative, so chances are that you might not be pregnant and may be suffering from some hormonal imbalance.
3) My suggestion is that you get a blood test called serum beta HCG which gives more accurate results. If that is also negative, then you can be assured that you are not pregnant and can take withdrawal medications for getting periods.
4) In case blood test is positive, you can go for an obstetric ultrasound to date your pregnancy and see its site and viability.

I hope this was helpful.
Regards,
