Unsure of what is happening

last month my period came rather weird. Its started off brown then crimson red, it was heavy for 3 days then it started to slow down till it turn brown (old blood). I took a pregnancy test 4 days after that and it says negative, is it accurate? Also, is the blood flow i’m describing period or implantation bleeding?

Greetings and thank you for contacting us.

We truly understand your concern with regard to your current condition. However, our views would only reflect based on the description that you have brought forth into the forum.

In general an irregular menstrual cycle is experienced when the range between your period changes frequently. For your information, there are various causes of irregular menstruation such as:

  • Stress disorders
  • Unstable hormones (due to medications or disease disorders)
  • Sudden weight loss or increase
  • Use of certain medications
  • Exercises that do not comply with the correct guidelines
  • Medical problems - polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) or thyroid problems
  • Thickening or polyps on the lining of the uterus and uterine fibroids
  • Breastfeeding
  • Hormonal contraceptives: Contraceptive pills or IUCD

For your information, UPT test is one of many methods to detect early pregnancy. Other methods include USG, physical examination and laboratory evaluation. Implantation bleeding on the other hand usually describes as light bleeding or spotting that is different from your usual menstrual fluid. Never the less, it is best that you seek professional help to evaluate further.

To know further with regards to your condition, or to be able to decide on which therapy best suited for your condition, additional assessment must be done. With that being said we encourage you to consult with the nearest clinic or hospital in your area. In addition you can also talk directly to our doctors by using this link. (DoctorOnCall) Thank you.
