Hello Anonymous,

From what you have shared, there is no strong evidence that you became pregnant, because it was protected sex and on the last day of your period.

t’s not uncommon to have some brown discharge for a few days after menstruation. That’s old blood making its exit. Since you had brown discharge, which was more than spotting, and lasted for one week, consider reaching out to your gynecologist about it.

The white bumps may be Montgomery glands, sometimes also referred to by their more technical name “areolar glands". They are small glands located on the areola of the female breast that produce an oily secretion designed to keep the nipple moisturized and protected.

Even though the glands sit right on the surface of the skin they aren’t usually visible under normal conditions. Certain hormonal triggers will cause them to bump up slightly, though. Pregnancy is one example: pregnant women often experience small raised pink or red bumps, often in a ring formation around the nipple, when the glands are stimulated. Arousal and pressure, often from tight-fitting clothes or bras, can also trigger this reaction. These bumps are usually considered very normal, and they usually subside on their own with time.

Regards,
Maryann
