Brief Answer:
Likely to be delayed periods

Detailed Answer:
Hello XXXXXXX

Nipple changes alone does not mean pregnancy especially when home pregnancy test is negative.

You need to get serum beta hCG blood test to identify if you are pregnant. It will clarify accurately about pregnancy and put your mind at ease.

Let me know if you need anymore help.
