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.

Hey, I'm on the pill and have been for several years. I've always had my periods a couple days after I stop the pill for the monthly break which is on a weds. However this month I didn't come on till the the sunday after I stopped my pill. It  lasted 1.5ish days,  was very light and brown. I've read everywhere that brown blood means old blood...However I have been feeling sick, tired and getting headaches on and off now, and its becoming more constant. Although feeling sick, I am able to eat exactly the same as what I normally do!!! I thought I was pregnant last month, with not as intense symptoms, but every test I took came back as a negative. Does this sound like i'm pregnant? If not what should I do? I wandered if anyone could help me??? Cheers Sarah

Hello, Im irregular and last month I got my period on the 9th and this month on the 11th. I started off with brown spotting for about 4-6 days then blood started coming out. It's not heavy enough to fill up a whole pad though. And when I used the rest room it was very mucus like. Can I get some advice on what this might be, please and thank you
