Hi,
Just by symptoms we cannot come to one conclusion regarding pregnancy. Because in premenstrual period also, abdominal cramps, breast tenderness, spotting, headache etc. can be seen.
To confirm the pregnancy, you have to wait till your expected date of periods and go for blood or urine test for pregnancy. Blood test gives more accurate results in early gestation.
If serum beta HCG levels are above 5 mIU/mL, that is indicative of pregnancy, a value above 25 mIU/mL is confirmation of pregnancy. Regarding brownish discharge, in case of pregnancy, it may indicate implantation bleeding or rarely threatened abortion. For this you can consult your gynecologist and take progesterone supplements to prevent any possibility of abortion.
Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
