Brief Answer:
Hormonal problem likely.

Detailed Answer:
Hello,
Thanks for trusting us with your health concern.
The mild brown spotting that you had can be due to delayed ovulation or implantation bleeding or hormonal imbalance. If the pregnancy test is negative then pregnancy is ruled out.
This spotting can be due to an impending period also. You need to wait for a few days and see if the bleeding increases. In case there is no more bleeding then do consult a gynecologist for proper hormonal treatment.
Please feel free to discuss further. I will be glad to answer the follow up queries that you have.
Wishing you good health.
Regards.
