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.

Hi im 17 years old.. me and my boyfriend have beeen dating for 3 and a half years, never have got pregnant(no condom) but he always pulls out. However I had sex on the 18th, exactly a week ago and I was suppose to start my period a few days ago, well I did on sunday, but not a normal period. I have very heavy periods from day one,and this was not heavy at all! Been wearing a pad just in case, but nothing. Only when I wipe theres a little of pink blood and only sometimes when I go too the restroom! I know it's too early to take a test. My backs hurting really bad and tummy just a little, im confused.. I keep feeling like im about to get it but, don't! Any advice? /:

I'm Getting ready to start my period and I have this brown discharge too. When I had sex the guy did not even ejaculate so I don't know what's happening. I'm cramping lightly and I only had this discharge for three days. I don't know if it's normal. I have been sick lately and under a lot of stress. Could that have anything to do with this?
