Hello and welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service.

I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.

You have missed period by three days and have brown spotting.Your symptoms could be due to premenstrual symptoms, side effect of birth control pill, hormonal imbalance, and implantation bleeding. Implantation bleeding occur around the time of normal period date. So your spotting could be due to pregnancy. Wait for the period to come. If your period is delayed by more than 7 days then go for urine pregnancy test and or blood HCG to confirm the pregnancy.

In absence of pregnancy it could be due to hormonal imbalance. In absence of pregnancy, period can be induced by progesterone pill. Avoid stress, take healthy diet, drink plenty of water and do regular exercise.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Sagar
