Trying To Conceive, Delayed Period, Brown Spotting. Should I Take A Upt?

I am 42 and trying to fall pregnant. My period is normally regular accept for I missed last month. I hadn't had 1 for nearly 8 weeks. I thought I ovulated 2 weeks ago then last Wednesday I started spotting thinking it would be the start of my period but it has pretty much stayed the same - brown discharge with a little bit of dark pink - nearly gone today. Not sure if I should take a urine pregnancy test or not? To scared to really. I already have 4 children and have never had problems falling pregnant - infact always been the opposite. Thanks mumwith4girls

Hi,
Thanks for the query.
The possible causes for your problem are:
-Hormonal imbalance leading to irregularity of periods.
-If you had unprotected intercourse during the period of ovulation, there is possibility of pregnancy also.
So you once go for urine test for pregnancy.
If the test comes negative, the spotting you had could be scanty flow during the periods.
If comes positive you can decide further depending on your wish.
