What Causes Delay In Periods And Thick White Discharge Despite Having Safe Sex?
Hi, I am 5 days late, have increased thick, white discharge, and it hurts in my left abdominal region. I only have protected sex, and my boyfriend never ejaculates into me, so I doubt that I m pregnant, also no STDs between the two of us. It s not a yeast infectiob either, because I don t feel any itching or burning. Please help!!
Hi, Thanks for posting in HCM. I have read your description and understand your concern. Your periods could have been delayed due to hormonal alterations. Many a times, in such condition, thick discharge happens before the periods begin. You may expect the periods to begin shortly. Since you had protected intercourse, pregnancy could be only a remote possibility. Relax and you can wait for another 3 to 5 days for periods to happen. Kindly take a urine pregnancy test in case there is further delay and consut Gynecologist for evaluation and management. Hope the information provided would be helpful. All the best.
