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!

I wish I could help you, but wow. I am going through the same exact thing. back aches, period is five days late, and I've been getting this creamy white watery discharge since the first day of my missed period. It's just relieving to know I'm not the only one. I already took two tests, they came out negative, so I made an appointment for this coming wednesday to see my doctor and get the discharge checked out and hopefully a blood test.

I bought the cheapest brand they had until I got a positive. That's usually 1-2 dollars. When I got my positive I bought a digital test just to see it say Pregnant lol.

I am having the same issues. I have a white discharge, little cramping like my period is here, and 5 days late. I'm not holding my breath for a positive, but this discharge is making me go bonkers! Buying a test to take tomorrow morning.

I never heard of discharge being a early sign of pregnancy. Ur best bet is to take a test I brought the digital one that says pregnant/not pregnant instead of the lines.

U better believe that when I get to work I gonna get an u/s to see if they see anything. I am having all the cravings and what not too. Just can't wait until Monday to find out what is going on with me

I bought  clear blue easy digital tests. I took all five of them and 4/5 said I was pregnant. I took it 5 days after missed period. Got my period on the 7th day, so no the digital ones and not better than the strip tests.

Hi I am 5 days late and also have backache, white discharge, lots of headaches, and I am finding myself going to the restroom more often than usual! I took 6 first response HPT, 3 clear blue the ones with the lines, 5 clear blue digital, 1 dollar HPT, and 1 Rexall HPT they all came out negetive! I know I know I went over board but I tested every day after my missed period morning and afternoons and got nothing! I am going to a clinic where they do free pregnancy testing tomorrow and see what my results are because I really do feel pregnant and I am hoping Im not because I just had my little one in May and he was premature 33 weeks and that was really hard to deal with! Oh I had the IUD in but today while I was using the restroom it fell out thats why im worried because i just put it in on July! :(

So I am now 25 days late and still negative HPT! I went to the ER due to serious pain that I thought was due to the mirena falling out and of course they found nothing! I by now just rule out pregnancy and now its a waiting game! Really frustrated I usually have a 31 day cycle so Im going to wait till October 16 to test again! I will keep updating!! Anyone that post before any updates? :( Really Anybody?
