Missed period; milky white discharge. Could I be pregnant??

Hello everyone :)

      I should have started on the first of this month (happy new years to me haha) but now i'm 5 days late. It's not unusual for me to be late, so I wasn't particularly concerned about it. However I've noticed a milky white discharge, the past 3 days and still no period. This i have never noticed before with late periods. Its so strange because i feel like i AM on my period, but there's no blood. Just this milky white discharge. Along with the usual cramps, and some backache. I'm considering waiting untill the end of the week, and then purchasing a pregnancy test. I'm a little nervous of the outcome, but excited at the same time. I was wondering if any of you have any advice as to when i should take the pregnancy test(s), and if there is a specific type/brand that i should buy. Any comments/responses would be greatly appreciated. Thank you very much!! :) And to any of you out there that are TTC good luck & best wishes!! :)

Hello!!!

Well I am currently 4 months now with my first and I had some symptoms along with no period. I experience really really sensitive breast more sensitive than when I am execting my period. I also had crzy cravings like ramen noodle and salsa....lol. I waited until I was 7 days late...then I purchased first response which tells to 5 days before your missed period. I think this is the best test. It should be pretty accurate. If you are really unsure look up some free pregnancy clinics and they will test for free and are very accurate. They can also help with additional material on pregnancy and what your next steps should be if the test is positive. Good luck, I hope this helps!

2016 I've always been on time I start my period on new yearrs eve every year I'm 25 Then after march I start my cycle on the 15th it's like that all year around I had my period April 15 normal I'm married so my hubby and I played around April 29th so for no actual reason we made a play day our only day off was Monday so Monday came & we got under the covers . tmi but I'm grown :) so may 15th comes I'm 3 days late I spot for a hour only just that day I've peed on hpt all neg June came I text its a no go IRS now June 17& I'm 5 days late I have all pregnancy symptoms and my chest grew in size cravings got thoes morning sickness I have that .we have two boys we lost twins and a baby due to miscarriage so I'm not trying to get my hopes up but I'm sure in pregnant I had break threw bleeding on June 5th that's what u call spotting b4 period on n off 4 48 hours . I have white discharge mood swings too lol. I read u should wait till u r 10 days past due to test its a waiting game I know but it saves $$$$$$$ && time or text the day ur expected to ovulate. The discharge won't GI away till after the baby is done I'd advise prenatal vitamins started asap if UE trying to conceive I take them everyday :)

I've been having the Same symptoms. I'm 21 yrs/o soon to be 22 in August. Last year my periods went haywire but have regulated back to there original state. I have my period every 30 days to be exact. In May I had unprotected sex a day before I ovulated. Me being silly I didn't even know I was due to ovulate and said it was okay to have unprotected sex, smh. I am now 4 days late. I'm tired and keep waking up at 4:30 am, I have white discharge which is odd because usually when my period is late when I do get discharge it's pink and then I come on... I took a test came back negative. I drank too much water before hand, gonna try again in the morning. Anyone else had anything like this ?

Im now 6 days late. I;ve never been late. Im 19. My boyfriend and I had sex about two weeks ago and I was on top he was like Im about to come but I say back down then like 8 sec later he threw me off while cumming. So idk if he came in me. I took 4 clearblue digital all negative. Took a first response and there was a very very faint line. Idk if Im pregnant or not

This is what happen to me since i was just like y'all freaking out about my period and white discharge....

Extra ****: Im 19 (most girls around 18-20's have a time where their periods cycle changes and it takes a bit longer or your period comes faster)
Example me(2015): My period used to take 26 days and every period lasted 5 days. Well on Sep i had a regular period but it was at the end of the month (26-30), i skipped  Oct which is 31 days, I was a 26 cycle.... so i got kinda scared y'know... the next month Nov, no period till the 5th of Nov.
So basically what this told me is that my cycle is now every 35 days. keeping that in mind.
If your period is late check how long it took for your last period to come.

Things you can do: Google calendar saves ur **** on your email, i have my calendar on my phone i keep some notes just in case.

My story: I had unprotected sex with my boyfriend 3 days before my period (Dec/7/2015). mI thought my period was going to come around the (10th-12th) why? Bc i thought that my period was still around the 26 day cycle. I ignored the fact that last month my period took 35days. So by Dec/10/2015 i felt wet on my vagina. Like my period was coming but nothing was there? What i do to see if my period is coming is take some toilet paper and put it inside of my vagina and check if i get any blood out lol. But anyways i did this and nothing but white crumpy discharge. I was also getting light cramps and tender breasts. (my nipples where not sore, it was just the outside of the boobs)
Basically after this it was the same till Dec 14 2015
this day was the 34th day of my cycle just like last month.
I was freaking out bc in the morning i didnt feel anything until a few hours later i went to the bathroom, shoved some toilet paper up my vagina, got it stuck, freaked out, took it out and there it was the beauty of blood all over that white toilet paper. My boobs are still sore and right now im getting stronger cramps.

So just wait a few more days, keep track of your period, as long as you dont have pregnancy symptoms im sure you'll be fine.
