Hi Alison,

I took another test today and it was negative too. Later in the day i got light brown spotting and the usual pain that happens in periods. Should i consider that as periods?

Payal,

The brown spotting may indeed be the start of a period, especially since it is accompanied by your normal period pain. Especially since you are still having negative pregnancy tests. See how long the spotting lasts, it may turn pink or red later and turn out to be a period after all.
