Period 2 days late with discharge? Pregnant?

Me boyfriend and I had unprotected sex roughly 4 weeks ago and my period is 2 days late.I always track my period and ovulation using an app to prevent pregnancy considering I had very bad side effects from birth control and we don’t always use condoms (been together 4 years) anyways I’ve had cramps and tender breasts for the past week assuming it was my period coming because it was very normal for me to experience it. But now I’m 2 days late with mild white/clear discharge no odor no irritation. Only other symptoms are being exhausted, back pain and mild headache. I also work 50+hrs a week so it could just be my worried brain connecting it to pregnancy. Am I overthinking this? Also is it too early to take a test? Thanks!

I don't think you are over thinking it and should test.  You can get an accurate pregnancy test 2.5 weeks after unprotected sex usually.  And once you've missed a period, definitely test.  Now, timing wise, I'm not sure as sperm lives for up to a week and we ovulate for 24 to 48  hours, so if that matches up to when you had the unprotected sex?  I'm not sure. But definitely worth a test which I'm assuming you've done by now.  What was your result??
