Hello everyone - I have a question. My period was suppose to start on the 28th and it didn't. on the night of the 29th I had a tiny spot of brownish blood and every day since that's all I've had. It's so lite that it's not even showing up on my panty liner. Any way I took a HPT on the afternoon of the 29th and it turned up negative.

Has anyone experienced negative HPT, but still be pregnant?

thanks
June

Hi -

It could be implantation bleeding which would mean it would be too early for a HPT to show a positive. The pregnancy hormones will start flowing after implantation. This is common and nothing to worry about. Or it could be just the start of a late or delayed AF. I really hope what you get what you are waiting for! Good Luck!

Thank you for your reply. My prayers are on a Baby. Can Implantation bleeding be a brownish color?

Definitely. I think typically it is brown or a brownish red color as it is not new blood. I used to work for an OB/GYN and I would hear usually it was brown or deep deep red/brown or pinkish discharge, rarely/never was it a bright red. Also, it rarely continues for more than a day or two, so it shouldn't continue much longer if you are pregnant. Good luck to you and Lots and Lots of baby dust!! :)

yes it can be brownish-meaning old blood....some women don`t get a positive until being like 2 weeks late(then of course rare women never get a +).....if you can try to hold off testing until the spotting has stopped completely!
