Hallow Dear,

It is too early for all these symptoms and the pregnancy test to be conclusive for detection of pregnancy.

Apart for the missed period, the other symptoms of early pregnancy are frequent urination, nausea & vomiting with aversion for food and breast changes which include engorgement with tenderness, darkening of the nipples and areola with increase in the size of areola, tubercles under the areola and secretions from the nipples. However all these symptoms appear 10-15 days after missed period.

Urine pregnancy tests also are reliable 8-10 days after missed period; before which they may give false negative results. However, Beta hCG test is quite specific and sensitive and gives reliable results even on the day of missed period also.

However, brown spotting is not a good sign in pregnancy; it may indicate that the pregnancy is wasted.

Please report to the Gynaecologist for proper diagnosis and treatment.

I hope this helps you.
