What Could Abnormal PMS Symptoms With Brown Discharge And Spotting Indicate?

Hello Dr. Lundi,This is our first month trying to conceive. I was supposed to get my period yesterday, but did not. However, I have the worst PMS symptoms including bad acne, bloating, gas, lower back pain, lower abdominal cramps, very very slight heartburn. I used a tampon yesterday feeling that my period is coming on and when I took it out there was brown, sticky discharge with just a drop of blood. I also had a bit of creamy discharge a few days ago. I took a home pregnancy test today and it came up negative. Could I still be pregnant?Thank you!

Hi
Dr. Purushottam welcomes you to HCM virtual clinic!
Thanks for consulting at my virtual clinic. I have carefully gone through your query, and I think I have understood your concern. I will try to address your medical concerns and would suggest you the best of the available treatment options.

If you have started getting some kind of bleeding and urine test is negative , then you are not pregnant, but as you have rightly pointed out , it can be PMS- premenstrual syndrome.

I will suggest indulging in a healthy diet and regular exercise regime.
Include plenty of fruits, salads, vegetables in the diet.
Have adequate water intake , say 8 – 10 glasses per day.
Avoid deep fried foods, bakery products, and refined sugars.
Avoid substance abuse, if any.
Start on FOLIC ACID, B12 supplements at least 3 months before you plan to have baby.
Also, I will suggest use of Vitamin E, B LONG F, PRIMOSA each one daily for 3 months to control PMS symptoms.

I hope my answer helps you.
Thanks.
Wish you great health.
