Hallow Dear, The very fact your period has been delayed by about 9 days suggest that you could be pregnant. This brown spotting you are observing could be either an incidental bleeding or could be some disturbance in the pregnancy. So, please get your pregnancy test done on your overnight morning first urine. If the test is positive, you are pregnant. You may alternatively opt for Beta hCG test on your blood. With positive results for pregnancy, ultrasonography would be useful here considering the brown spotting. Brown bleeding anytime during pregnancy suggests non-viable baby. Ultrasonography will inform about the integrity of the baby. If it is viable, no issue and you would just take rest and may be support the pregnancy with some progestational preparation like Susten with the advice of your Obstetrician. However, if the baby is non-viable, it suggests missed abortion. Missed abortion is a condition wherein the baby is not living and still not getting aborted. If ignored, such condition can lead to heavy bleeding due to clotting disorder (DIC) or infection. Such missed abortion should be terminated at the earliest. Please report this to your Gynaecologist.
