Is Delayed Period And Brown Discharge Sign Of Pregnancy?

I'm 17 and just recently on jan 24th lost my virginity to my boyfriend whom I love very much.And we did it again on feb 5th! He used a condom and it didn't leak or have a break from what we could see. And both the times, it didn't penetrate fully as I was scared and he said it didn't go all the way in because i was a virgin and the muscles were tight. Last time I got my period was on Jan 16th and today it is the 22nd of feb and I'm late on my period (though it feels like I'm about to start or have started and I dont, and sort of see a little bit of brown discharge) and even before I was actually late, I was stressing out over the possibility. I'm not really showing any symptoms of being pregnant and from checking around online I'm thinking the chances are slim. I'm starting to assume that it's just stress but stress has never made me miss a period or be this late before. I'm just wondering when on earth my period will show up, and WHEN or IF i should take a home pregnancy test? And are the pregnancy tests are even accurate? OR should i just go to a doctor? I'm really worried and stressing a lot over it. please help!

P.S Also I have had complications in my menstrual cycle! When i got my period for the first time & the 2 months after I didnt get my period. And about 3 months ago, I got my period 3 times in one month.

Hi..if during sex, condom was used correctly then there are very bleak chances of pregnancy..so wait for a week or so- your menses will show up if otherwise your hormonal status is okay .Sometimes the extreme psychological fear of pregnancy itself delays menses.However if you are very eager you can do a urine pregnancy test by self at home, which is quite accurate to rule out pregnancy..
You say your periods are off and on irregular, so kindly get a serum TSH and serum prolactin done as well..alongwith a gynecological evaluation to rule out pcod..syp evecare 2 tsf twice a day meanwhile ( if pregnancy test negative) for 2 months. will help in restoration of regularity in your cycles.
