Hi, to answer your question it is important to do a pregnancy test to determine if you are pregnant or not. Also the brown discharge or spotting you mention could mean an implantation bleed if you are late on your periods. But it could also be normal to have mild spotting. My advise would be to visit a Gynecologist for any spotting lasting more than 2 days.
