Dr. Jeff Livingston answered

Specializes in Obstetrics and Gynecology

Take a test: Pregnancy tests are accurate bout 7-10 days after conception or wait until you miss your period. If you take a test you will know your answer. Brown discharge is usually old blood meaning this is more likely an early period than pregnancy. Your test will give you the answer.
