Hallow Dear,

From your history, it seems you are in a confused state of mind.

Please remember that the cardinal sign of pregnancy is missing a period. You have already missed your period. All the symptoms are associated. Moreover, your pregnancy test is positive.

For your information:

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.

Your urine pregnancy test is positive, so no other blood test is necessary. Vaginal scan or ultrasonography is always good for additional information about the baby. Please get it done.

I am sure, this much information will clarify your doubts.
