What Causes Delayed Menstruation, Clear Fluid Discharge And Vaginal Swelling?

My last period started on June 4th, and my last sex with pull out method was on the morning of the 12th. My cycle is usually 30 days, pretty regular. I am now 4 days late on expected period. On July 5th, I had extreme amount of clear fluid ( enough to soak my panties completely ) and also found drop of fresh blood. This is weird because if it was implantation bleeding, its 3 weeks after ovulation. I dont feel particulary extra tired, no severe cramps and I have vowel movements everyday. My breasts do feel fuller and heavier. My vagina seems to be swollen and i sometimes feel itchy.Also, on July 6th and 7th, my left arm and right leg often felt numb and and hands and calf/ankel/feet were swollen. (I was on a 8 hour bus ride on 6th after 4 days of walking/touring newyork). the swelling and numbness is gone now. I also feel bloated in the belly. Am I pregnant?

Hi,

Since there is a delay in periods with usual signs of premenstrual tension absent thus check with home pregnancy test [HPT], for positive signs of pregnancy, also it could be due to certain lifestyle changes if were done recently [if any] like:
- Excessive stress
- Losing or putting too much of weight [present]
- Heavy exercises
- Suffering from PCOD [polycystic ovarian disease] or having a high level of prolactin [hormone]

It is best to seek suggestion to know why you have missed your periods, a gynecologist would be ideal to consult, for appropriate examination/investigations

As there is history of long bus ride [8 hours] thus one urgent medical condition which has to be immediately excluded, in the legs is DVT [deep vein thrombosis] so seek immediate medical intervention [vascular surgeon opinion] or visit an emergency room.

Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Munish Sood, Ayurveda Specialist
