Hallow Dear,

Even 2 months after the missed period if your pregnancy tests are negative, I would have otherwise written off the case as 'no pregnancy'. Soreness of the breasts can happen due to many other causes which includes rough handling also. All other symptoms like headache, bloating, fatigue are not pertinent to pregnancy. However, darkening of the nipples and areola with areolar widening makes me consider that you may be pregnant. You have two alternatives for diagnosing the condition:
1. Go for Beta hCG test. This is very specific and sensitive test which gives reliable results even few days before missed period.
2. Get ultrasonography done. By this time, it will give direct visual evidence of pregnancy. Moreover, if you are not pregnant, it will help to look for any evidence of Polycystic Ovaries (PCOS). PCOS is known to delay menstrual cycle for considerable time. When the periods start, they are usually very heavy.

If you are diagnosed non-pregnant, please undergo investigations for finding out the underlying condition. Blood examination for Prolactin, FSH & LH would be important. Since you are having headache, Prolactin values will be important. If they are raised, they lead to breast secretions. Then X-ray of the head will try to see whether you have got pituitary tumour. Usually this can be treated with Tab. Bromocryptine.

Get Thyroid function also assessed. Thyroid dysfunction does alter the regularity of the menses. The symptoms like lethargy, fatigue, etc. may be attributed to low Thyroid functioning.

Please have a consideration of your body-mass index. In PCOS as well as Hypothyroid condition, BMI is raised. Try to maintain it betwee, 18.5 to 24.9.

I would request you not to depend only on urine pregnancy test and undergo more investigations.

Please report to you Gynaecologist.
