Hallow Dear,
Since you are about to get your menses, it is too early to suspect or perform pregnancy test on urine. These tests give reliable results about a week after the missed period. So you have two options:
1. Wait for a week more, if still you do not get menses, you may repeat the pregnancy test on overnight early morning first urine sample. It will inform you reliably about the status of pregnancy.
2. You may opt for Beta hCG test on the blood. This test can detect the pregnancy even few days before missing period.
Madam, brown discharge is never a symptom of pregnancy. In fact, brown discharge in any stage of pregnancy indicates risk to the life of the baby - a possibility of nonviable baby.
I hope this clarifies your dilemma.
