Hi and welcome to HCM!
Thanks for posting your query here.
White discharge which is called leucorrhea is a physiological discharge before periods. Delay in periods, white discharge and heavy bleeding denotes a low haemoglobin status in the blood. If the ovum is not fertilized it results in bleeding. Hence there are less likely chances of being pregnant.To confirm a urine pregnancy test can be done.
Please check your Hb status. It should be within the range of 12-14mg/dl. If it is below the range of 11 it is considered as iron deficiency anaemia. It can be corrected by using oral iron and folic acid supplementation, one tablet daily.
Hope this is helpful to you.
Thanks
