white discharge / clear discharge instead of period, now 7 days late

I went off the pill in Sept. had AF Nov. 14th, then again AF on Dec. 19th my husband and I had unprotected sex in Dec. a couple days before my period started, then again Jan. 21st or 22nd (other times we used condoms)  I started to have CM or some white discharge around the time my period was supposed to start but no blood or color at all.  Then we had unprotected sex a couple of days later (my husband say's well you should be starting your period any day now, so let's not use protection) I have 2 sons  3 and 5 yrs. and we aren't trying to get pregnant, but I wouldn't mind if I was.

So, now I guess I am 7-10 days late or so and I took 2 HPT's which both were Neg. (the first on Fri. morn and the 2nd yesterday afternoon)  STILL, no AF and no blood or sign of it, sometimes a little white/clear discharge when I wipe.  Not sure what to think.  I didn't find out I was preg. with my 2 sons until I was 5-7 weeks preg. and I was younger and uninformed about how my body worked.  Any thoughts? Oh, also before BC pills, I was irregular, but I know we have had unprotected sex 2 times, so that is why I wonder what is going on.

Hi. I saw your post on here and it seems as though you have experience. I am currently 6 days late and am having white/clear discharge. I have constant headaches, I feel nauseas throughout the day but especially in the morning and night but have only gotten sick once. My breasts are very sore, I find myself peeing more often, I feel exhausted and I have cramps every now and then but they are nothing like period cramps. My boyfriend and I use the pull out method but I just recently switched to a new birth control. Do you have any input for me? I'm not sure if I should go ahead and take a test or wait it out? If you could help me, I would really appreciate it.

I am 23 years old, no form of BC I have only had unprotected sex once this past month...and have had an extremely regular period since i was 10, 26 day cycle and 5 day length exactly, it has never been late or early. I am a week late for getting my period... but for the past week i have been having light cramping, an increased amount of white discharge, have been a bit more anxious and tired at the same time, and have been a bit bloated...its close to how i feel when i am about to start my period but this feels a bit different. I have taken 1 pregnancy test 3 days after the first day of my missed period and it came back negative. So i am not sure weather or not I should just wait it out and see if i get my period or go to the doctors to get checked...
any suggestions or ideas?

How rude?! I can see if you're under 18, but really? Everyone has their own opinion, but to push yours onto everyone like that pisses me off. If you have sex, you're taking the chances of getting pregnant whether you use protection or not. That comment is a couple years old, so I'm assuming that you'll never see it. So if you do happen to see this, go stick your nose in someone else's business! These ladies are on here for advice for their problems, not to be criticized by an old hag like you! GEESH!

sex is not meant only for marriage and telling a scared young person that is the stupidest thing i have ever heard. catch up with the real world and don't be so judgmental, god help if you have a child that comes home as a pregnant teen, would you be so cruel to them? think before you type

Please don't think negatively of me. But I'm 19, freshmen in college and finally found a nice boy. We were together a night before supporting break started, it was a Thursday night Friday morning, and things got heated between us. We almost had sex, he went in far enough that I could feel him, but not enough to make that tissue rupture, so technically speaking I'm still a virgin. We spent about half of spring break worrying if I'm pregnant...I would have melt downs in the middle of the night and he would have to call mean talk to me to calm me down. In the middle of spring break, I took a pregnancy test and it said negative. I told him and he was relieved, but my period hasn't started so I couldn't be fully relieved...it was already two days late when we did that in the first place though. Now it's the end of spring break and I still haven't started, I'm 12 days late, and I thought I started when it turned out to be a false alarm. Instead of blood it was a liquidy white fluid. I'm scared to know what it means, but I need to know if I'm pregnant or not. And hopefully don't have any infection that I don't know about.

okay me and my boyfriend have sorta been trying to get pregnant for about two months now, and today marks the fifth day past the end of my missed period. the day I was supposed to start nothing happened except a little spotting, and the next day I had severe lower tummy pains that lasted about 5 minutes. they felt hurt so much worse than period cramps, like someone was twisting a knife in my tummy. ive had a good bit of a white discharge, and a lot of pain after sex. it'll mostly set in a moment after intercourse has ended, but today it got severe and happened during, and even before he penetrated me (after some foreplay in which I climaxed.) I have no idea whats going on...a few days ago I got two negatives on HPT's and I don't wanna get too hopeful that it was too early and that this could really be it. please HELPPPPP D:

I had the same thing- where I was suppose to start my period and didn't I had lots of discharge though. I also had super bad stabbing pains for one day that were off and on for like 2 seconds then stop then later continue. I thought I might be pregnant so I took a hpt test on valentines day (my honey made me) and it was a BFP yay!!! best gift ever  this will be our second. so I would say if you feel pregnant and miss your period and had sex when you ovulated then take a test you may get the awnser you were looking for

Ok..Please tolerate my Bad English.I am 26 and happily Married 2 yrs.We both are kind of under agreement to not get pregnant until  we settled. My period is replaced by white discharge. Since my economical condition we never had sex coz i dont like to use pills and dont have money to see doctor. newly immigrant to USA. I remember i was young i was in the same condition( menses replaced by white discharge) when I was 16 yrs.I was dame sure I am a virgin. And that wetness caused me yeast infection. And that time i had irregular periods and over flow.Still I am a virgin. but i am married.we love each other. We occationally have raw sex (kissing,hugging & sharing bed). We never break our rules.

I'm going to tell a incident. I am not sure about the scientific reason behind this. But it may help you. I was in my college we were talking abt irregular periods and a friend of mine she said skipping head shower for 3 days cause regular period.I followed that. She was right. After That day I never ever mised a perids. She is kind of wise person with heavy head.

CONCLUSION- This condition is a condition of body.If you are sure. Trust your negative results and stay calm. But I am kind of nervous. but trust me. But I dont know abt why the doctors are unaware of this condition. It looks like a common condition. Now I am using panty liners to protect my sensitive area from east infection. and updations plz

PS- I am from south east Asia. very dry and hot place. recently i moved to USA and this is my 1st summer. may hot weather influencing this condition for me.

Two/three days late. Last four days i've noticed increasing appetite which I usually never really eat, slept 46 ish hours which is very very odd cause I don't sleep too much but I am still so tired. Having cramps like I should get my period but instead noticed an increased amount of clear mucus like discharge. Very sexually aroused, heart burn and vomiting. On first day of there four the smell of my uncles bologna sandwich made me vomit! Very cold all the time more so than usual, feel as though no matter how much I smoke im not fulfillimg nicotine cravings... And two days ago an acquaintance looked at me and said are you ok? Wait are you pregnant!? Your so pale(which ive also been very pale lately) like ur eithr pregnant or getting seriously sick. And then continued onto how she dont know what that glow looks like but she thinks I have it, she was third person to say so... Help is thhis in my head or...
