Could changes in my cervical mucus be a sign of pregnancy?

The best way to check for pregnancy is via a urine pregnancy test or a serum bhcg level! No need for guessing!

What could cause spotting for 3 weeks if I am not sexually active and not on the Pill?

I am sorry to hear that your symptoms have been so worrying for you. Firstly, your symptoms sound like what we refer to as Intermenstural bleeding. In a young person of reproductive age like yourself, the main thing to always rule out is always a pregnancy whenever you experience irregular spotting or bleeding that is out of the ordinary. However, if you have not been sexually active, then there can also be many other causes of intermenstural bleeding such as cervical polyps, infections or even hormonal imbalance.

Could I still be pregnant despite a negative pregnancy test if I’m experiencing brown discharge?

If you suspect there is a high chance of pregnancy, I would suggest repeating the urine pregnancy test in a week’s time. If it still negative then it is unlikely you are pregnant. Irregular bleeding like what you describe is not uncommon in PCOS even in the absence of pregnancy. I would recommend using contraception if you are sexually active. In addition to preventing pregnancy, contraception like the oral contraceptive pill (OCP) will make your periods regular and light, and prevent endometrial hyperplasia (build up of womb lining) which is very common in PCOS.
