What Are The Early Signs Of Pregnancy?

My period has mainly been a brown discharge with little pink. My usual cycle is 7 days. Last months cycle was very abnormal and only lasted 4 days. I also developed white bumps around my nipples and have been feeling queasy. I even vomited on the day the brown discharge started. I am currently sexually active. Could this be pregnancy?

OBGYN,  's  Response
My dear madam, missing the period is the first and most cardinal symptom of pregnancy. However, if you feel that your last menstrual period was as low as missed, you may confirm your pregnancy be certain tests.
For your information I am providing you with the early symptoms of pregnancy:

The symptoms of early pregnancy - in first three months are:
1. Missing a period
2. Nausea and vomiting
3. Frequency of urination
4. Breast Changes -
* Engorgement and tenderness
* Brownish discolouration of nipples and areola. This happens in first pregnancy and is permanent change.
* Increasing the size of areola
* Clear secretions from nipple on squeezing
However, pregnancy is never diagnosed on any of these symptoms. For confirmation of pregnancy, clinical examination is necessary. To support the clinical diagnosis, urine pregnancy test and/or ultrasonography after 8-10 days of missed period is performed. Beta hCG test is highly specific and sensitive which can give reliable results within 2-3 days of missed period.
I hope you have got the answer for your query.
