What Does Delayed Periods Along With Dark Brown Spotting And Cramps Indicate?
Question: I am 24 year old house wife. I got my period on XXXXXXX 5,my next period was on feb 2. This month i haven't got my period yet. I had dark brown spotting on march 8 with cramps. I had sex with my husband on feb 24. I did pregnancy test on 10 march and it was negative. Why din't i get my period ?
Brief Answer:
wait for a week
Detailed Answer:
Hello mam, thanks for trusting health care magic.
It can be a delayed conception and thus not giving positive result on pregnancy test strip but that is little unlikely because as you stated that you have regular periods so just wait for a week for periods to come and in case you still don't get them repeat the pregnancy test.
Most likely you will get your periods by that time but but in case you don't get them and pregnancy test is again negative then you will need progesterone pills for withdrawal of periods.
It is common to have delayed periods due to various physiological reasons like recent exercise, dieting or stress so don't get anxious and wait for periods.
Take care.

i have observed dark brown spotting on 8th and 9th.
Brief Answer:
sign of upcoming periods
Detailed Answer:
Yes that is a good thing because it implies upcoming periods and thus just a simple physiological delay in periods.
This brownish discharge will give way to full fledged flow of periods in a couple of days.
