[/INST] Hello and welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service.  I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.You are on 4 weeks and 1 day. Just brown spotting could be due to implantation bleeding, premenstrual symptoms, and hormonal imbalance. Implantation bleeding occurs at the time of the period and just like spotting, it is brown to pink colour. If your period is delayed by more than 8 to 10 days, then go for urine pregnancy test and or blood HCG test to confirm the pregnancy. Meanwhile avoid stress, take healthy diet, maintain proper pelvic hygiene, drink plenty of water, do regular exercise.Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.Regards, Dr. Sagar </s>
