Can black blood be a sign of pregnancy?

Question

I noticed some dark almost blackish spotting few days before my period was due and now im confused. My periods are late also. Could this be an early pregnancy thing? planning to test soon but couldnt stop thinking about it.

Black or dark brown discharge is usually just old blood exiting the uterus, but since it can also indicate other complications, you must consult your gynac right away to be safe.

I know how terrifying it is to see any dark discharge or blood when you are hoping to be pregnant. Take a deep breath and contact your gynac immediately for a scan to put your mind at ease.

I had some dark brown spotting early on which my doctor said was old blood, but any kind of bleeding should be checked by a gynac immediately.
