What Are The Causes For Period Cramps, Brown Discharge ?
I have irregular periods, but this month Ive had cramping for the past 3 days, period cramps with no period. I have discharge tinted slightly brown but not to noticable. I am due for my period. My appetite changes every day one day im hungry, one day I dont have an appetite at all. Some nights I have insomnia and some nights I can sleep for a long time. Should I take a pregnancy test?

Hello,
Since you have irregular periods earlier and now these symptoms, so pregnancy needs to be ruled out because in irregular periods it is very difficult to forecast ovulation days. To confirm the status of your pregnancy, you can get a serum HCG test done which is more specific than a urine test or a do a urine for pregnancy test by kits available in market.
Hope it helps you. Regards.
