What Causes Headaches, Increased Urination, Morning Sickness Feeling And Brown Discharge?
Question: Could I still be pregnant? Am I having a 'Cryptic Pregnancy'?
My Last Menstraual Period (LMP) was on the 15th July 2015. After this period had taken it's course, my boyfriend and I had sex. I believe this may have been during my most fertile days, but am not 100% sure. The event occured more than once and no protection was used. My next expected period was 14th August 2015. The period did not come and still hasn't. This isn't normal for me, as at the most, is 1 day late (Hence why the July period was the 15th). I have never missed a period before and haven't experienced it more than 1 day late before. I took a Home Pregnancy Test (HPT) on the 17th August, 3 days after my expected period. It was negative. I decided to wait a little longer and repeated the HPT on the 23rd August, 6 days later. I took this Pregnancy Test with my morning urine. It was again, negative. 4 days later, on the 27th August, I made an appointment with a Doctor. She gave me a blood test, however, the result was negative. I have now not had my menstrual period for 7 weeks. It's been 2 weeks and 4 days since I was expecting my August period and I am still not bleeding. I have pregnancy symptoms and I feel pregnant, but am confused with the negative results I've had. I have headaches, increase in urination, eating more often and larger amounts, drinking a lot more Milk and Water (I never drunk these liquids), and waking up feeling yuck and sick. I believe this is Nausea/Morning sickness, as after a couple hours, I come right. This sickness occurs most morning's. There is no vomiting included. My boyfriend and I believe I still am pregnant because of all the signs and symptoms. I have had some brown discharge, and due to this, have been using a Pad to avoid staining my underwear. During sex with my boyfriend, after the July period where I believe it was during my most fertile days, I had some watery dark brown discharge and it was actually quite a lot. I got very concerned about this as that had never happened to me before and I had no answer. My boyfriend done a quick Google search and it was most likely old blood from my LMP.
I am an 18 year old and female. I'm a small build, and at 18, weigh 45 kg. This is with clothes on. I have never been over 50kg. I have never been pregnant before so this is all new to me.
Do you have any answers or feedback? Is this most likely a Cryptic Pregnancy? What would you suggest I do?

Brief Answer:
there is no chance of pregnancy
Detailed Answer:
Hello dear,welcome to healthcare magic.I understand your concern.
In my opinion the pregnancy is the first thing to be ruled out in a regularly menstruating lady when there is missed period.
And pregnancy is confirmed by urine pregnancy test.The urine pregnancy test usually gives accurate results after a week of missed period.
The blood HCG test also helps in diagnosing pregnancy.
But as both the above tests are negative there is no chance of pregnancy.
The all your said symptoms are seen in pregnancy but sometimes even the thought of pregnancy also makes one to feel the symptoms even though when there is no pregnancy.
Coming to brown discharge it is usually seen in case of infection of endometrium or cervical inflammation.
So I suggest you to consider doing a physical examination to rule out any abnormality of cervix and ultrasound also helps in confirmation.
As it is already 22 days late with negative urine pregnancy test you might need medicine for withdrawal bleeding.
So discuss regarding the above things with your doctor.
The missed period might also be due to stress regarding the thought of pregnancy.So relax.
Hope this satisfies your query.
Feel free to discuss furthur.
