Vaginal discharge

I don’t know the technical way of saying this and I don’t even know if its correct, so correct me if I'm wrong but a woman's cycle concerning vaginal discharge goes:  Period, dryish discharge, then wet when fertile and then dryish again right before her period?  Is that correct?  If it is correct then does very wet discharge before her period and during the time that she expects her period a sign of pregnancy?  My discharge is very slippery/wet has a slight smell I've never experienced before and is on the whitish/yellowish side.  I am expecting my period, a day late, and was wondering if this could be a sign of pregnancy.  I really have no idea and any advice/comments would be appreciated.

Well, usually you are dryer after a period, then creamy, then watery, then it has the consistency of eggwhites around ovulation, then goes back to creamy again.  But not all women experience this, and not all are the same.  When I was pregnant I had more cervical mucus than I usually did, and it was just creamy.  So yes, it could be a sign of pregnancy, but usually if it is discolored (yellowish) and smell, then it is signs of an infection.  I would take a pregnancy test just incase, and call the doc to find out what it is.
