Brief Answer:
Brownish spotting is your periods

Detailed Answer:
Hello,

I have gone through your query and I understand your concerns about delayed periods and brown spotting.

Following is my reply:

1. This brown spotting is your periods and not related to pregnancy.

2. It is common to have light brownish bleeding like this once in a while.

3. You can consider this as your periods. This is not pregnancy.

4. Delayed periods are common in women with PCO
I hope your doubt is clarified. Let me know if you wish any other information.

Regards,
Dr. Soumya
