    No period and brown discharge?
    I am really confused. I'm not sure what is going on and I'm worried it could be something like a miscarriage. I'm not sure. Okay, here's what's going on. I'm 25. I have two kids. My birth control method is condoms. I expected my period 7 days ago and it never came. Not even a hot flash or cramp. Now today I have very light brown discharge. Normally for me, a missed period longer than a week is a red flag that I'm pregnant, but I have taken three test and all say negative. One early this morning with FMU just to make sure. And it was negative as well. I called my doc and spoke with nurse who blamed it on stress. But I'm not stressed. No more than usually. And I wasn't anticipating my period so that's not what put it off. What else could it be? I just knew I was pregnant, but three tests tell me different. Any ideas? Help. :(

    The brown discharge is due to the fluctuation in your hormones. This difference in hormones often symbolizes the lack of ovulation.

    Pregnancy test are 99.8% accurate when used correctly. However, it is recommended to always confirm the results of a pregnancy test with your Doctor because home pregnancy tests are good in detecting the human chorionic gonadotropin (hCG) hormone, but blood tests are more reliable.

    Hope this answers your question!
