Thank you for sharing your question with the EmpowHER community. Light brown spotting typically is left over blood and not an actual new period. Sometimes women can be experiencing implantation bleeding and confuse it with brown spotting. If there is a lot of spotting, it is most likely not implantation bleeding.
When I was pregnant with both my kids, my pregnancy tests came up negative until I bought the EPT ones which still gave me a super, super faint pink line. You can try another brand of test or just wait a few more days. There's no other way to know unless the doctor does a pelvic exam or draws blood.
I knew I was pregnant with my second child when I was extremely exhausted. The sleeping all day is definitely an early pregnancy symptom.
Keep me posted...try a different brand and not a generic.
