Hello and welcome to HCM,
The chances of pregnancy are good if unprotected sex took place around ovulation.
Absence of menstrual cycle is first symptom of pregnancy.
You can take up urine pregnancy test to confirm / rule out pregnancy.
The symptoms that you have mentioned- sore nipples and white discharge may be seen in pre-menstrual phase called pre-menstrual syndrome.
Similar symptoms may be experienced during implantation of fertilized ovum.
Thus, there is possibility of both: pre-menstrual syndrome and implantation.
Onset of mentruation rules out pregnancy.
A positive urine test will confirm pregnancy.

Thanks and take care
