Is Bleeding With Discharges Possible During A Pregnancy?
I have a 28 day cycle. Regular periods and i am not on any birth control. Last month my cycle was 32-33 days instead of my normal 28 days, which means i was around 4-5 days late. I was worried as i have never had a period thats been late before. I thought u might of been pregnant as I had unprotected sex with my Husband a few times. HPT came back negative, so it made me more confused. after 5 days late i came on, however it was not like my usual heavy painful period it was light with hardly any pains. So due to being late in January i was unsure when my period was going to come in February. 28 days from when i was suppose to come on, or 28 days from when my period ended up coming. However i started bleeding a few days before my period should have came. It started off light, light brown and i have no pains. Now its dark brown/black blood/discharge. So usual. i also have no pains but really sore breasts. Could i be pregnant and still bleed?

Hallow Dear,
I do empathize your concern as in occasional case, some light to normal bleeding may occur at the time of expected menses during early pregnancy. Moreover you have sore breasts.
You had light bleeding for two months. In January it was 5 days late when you performed pregnancy test on urine which was negative. You should have repeated it again after 4 days since sometimes these tests can report false negative results if performed too early.
Now in February, you had menses rather earlier than expected period; again with lighter brownish bleeding.
I would advise you either to perform pregnancy test again on your urine or to go for ultrasonography. In fact at this stage, if pregnancy is there, ultrasonography should give direct visual evidence of pregnancy.
If you are not pregnant, you could be having some hormonal imbalance. Birth control pills for three months might help you regularising the menses. If they do not, please report to the Gynaecologist for hormonal work up and management.
You may report the changed pattern of your menses to your Gynaecologist.
