Okay so I was supposed to have my period about a week or so ago and I still haven't had it. Instead I have some brown discharge. I'm scared, am I pregnant?

It could happen for several reasons, but only a doctor could tell for sure. One reason might be that you recently stopped taking the pill, or changed your contraception type or dose and that is causing a bit of a change in your normal cycle. Another possible reason is stress and just having some old blood going away before you will have a regular period like usual in a few days. The other possible reason might be that yes you are pregnant and this is some implantation bleeding or something. A good home pregnancy test can be useful to ease your mind, and the blood test at the doctor office is the best and most accurate. A phone call to your OBGYN or a clinic might also put your fears to rest.
