Brown Discharge and Late Period

Hello doctor,

I’m in my early 30’s and I noticed a week before my period, my discharge was in dark brown. This happened on 26/03 has been going on for 6 days. I was supposed to get my period on 02/04 but up until today (15/04), I haven’t gotten my period yet. I even had 2 pregnancy tests but both came out negative (one by doctor on 06/04 and another one on 13/04). My period has been regular before this and this is the first time I had gotten the brown discharge and my period had been this late.
