Brief Answer:
Pregnancy ruled out.

Detailed Answer:
Hello,
Thanks for posting your query.
Mild nipple discharge and the symptoms that you are having are all non specific symptoms and if the pregnancy test is negative then pregnancy is ruled out. The nipple discharge can happen due to breast stimulation and other symptoms can be attributed to gastritis. You can wait for 5-7 days and see if the discharge subsides on its own. Repeating the urine test after a week will also help in ruling out the pregnancy completely.
I hope this answers your query.
In case you have additional questions or doubts, you can forward them to me, and I shall be glad to help you out.
Wishing you good health.
Regards.

Since your pregnancy test was negative, you are not pregnant and the symptoms that you have- nausea or discharge is likely to improve on its own in next few days.

So there is no reason for my symptoms why would they go away in a few days if I dunno what’s causing it I’ve felt like this for days before I went to the doctors

Brief Answer:
Symptomatic treatment will help.

Detailed Answer:
Some of the problems are self limiting and are associated with common problems like gastritis. So these will improve with symptomatic treatment and dietary changes.
