Brief Answer:
Home pregnancy test is advised.

Detailed Answer:
Warm Welcome. I appreciate your trust in HCM and assure you are on best portal on the globe for expert online medical services.

Based on what you said, if you had unprotected sex with partner during last 20 days, it can be sign of early pregnancy. A home pregnancy test is thus advised for you. If it turns out to be negative, wait for few more days and if there is still no period, do a pregnancy test again to be sure.

If it turns out to be positive at any instance, you need to consult a nearby gynecologist. An ultrasound scan is required if brownish discharge persists after negative pregnancy test.

Hope I addressed all the concerns you have. Let me know if you have further questions. I will be more than happy to clear any doubts. Keep a follow up to see how you doing.

Regards!
Dr. Ali Raza
