Is it compulsory for my areola and nipple to darken if i've conceived and if so how long will it take for this to occur?thanks

No: Not all women have nipple changes in pregnancy. If you think you might be pregnant check then check a home pregnancy test. They are cheap, reliable and available at any pharmacy.
