Brown spotting and light bleeding not sure if it is my period or am I pregnant

I was scheduled to get my period on July 22 or 23.  on those 23rd I assumed I was getting my period because I start out with a brown discharge.  But the that discharge is still here.  When I wipe after going to bathroom sometimes the discharge is light on toilet tissue and sometimes I will get very light blood.  I still have this discharge and I know if it was to be my period it should be over by now.  Could I be pregnant.  I took a pregnancy test last Monday and it came back negative but I don't have no signs of being pregnant either.  Should I want til it stops and hope for a period next month, take a pregnancy test, or go to the doctor.  This has never happened before.  I don't know what this is.  Hope someone can tell me.

I started taking birth control and then I had intercourse the first month but we used a condom. I haven't started my period but I have brown discharge. I have had brown discharge in the past and then started by period but I've never been late. Is this normal?

I'm a little past worried... I've gotten back on bcp back in february after being off them for couple months.  My period is usually really heavy, bad cramps, mood swings, it's reason why i'm taking bcp in first place.  But since i haven't been getting a period remotely anywhere like it i'm worried.   Lately i've been gettin spotting for like 2 days then 1 day (2 at most) of barely regular tampon follow bleeding followed by another 2 days spotting.  I've always had even on pill at least 1 day spotting then coming down super tampon amount for like 2 days, 1 day of regular follow, followed by next day or 2 of spotting.  It's been so light lately its as if something is blocking the follow.  Last month i had this type of period too n coming out of a bathroom stall i got two sharp pains where ovaries r.  I've tried 2 PTs n both are negative.  If someone has an idea y its doing this please tell me.
