Hi, I am a week late for my period according to my tracker but they are irregular and the latest I have been is 10 days, when I wipe I am getting a brown thick discharge which sometimes seems to have blood clots in it and it smells metallic, could this be a sign of pregnancy?

Hello,
Welcome to hcm,
Irregular spotting could be because of hormonal imbalance also. Sometimes spotting do occur during early pregnancy because of implantation of growing fetus. If you want to confirm get serum bhcg levels which are more specific in diagnosing early pregnancy or urine pregnancy test preferably early morning sample.
Thank you
