For me, I always used to get some white discharge a few days before my periods. But when I actually got pregnant, it felt much thicker and was constant. That was just my personal experience though, everyone's body is different.

Keep the area clean and dry, and wear loose cotton panties to avoid any infection. But if the discharge looks watery, yellowish, or you feel burning, then please ask your doctor right away.

Ah, the endless waiting game! I had that discharge too and then my horrible nausea started soon after. If you feel like testing, do it first thing in the morning with the first urine for accurate results.

I totally understand that sweet, anxious feeling when you are waiting for a sign. For me, it turned out to be my little miracle on the way. Sending you so much love, hope whatever you are wishing for comes true.

Actually white discharge can happen in both cases, so it is hard to tell. But if it has a bad smell or causes itching, please go see your gynac immediately. My doctor told me infections are very common during this time and need treatment.

It can honestly be either of them! I had heavy milky discharge when I conceived, but I just kept doing my light morning walks as usual because my doctor had allowed it. Just don't stress your body right now and wait for your missed period.

Same here, had thick white discharge right before my positive test. Just wait for 2-3 days and do a home test, it will clear all doubt.

I felt so confused when this happened to me last year. I thought my period was coming but then my dates got missed and the test was positive. It was the most beautiful feeling when I saw those two lines!

Ghar pe sab kehte hain ki agar period aane wala ho tab bhi aisa hota hai. But agar pregnancy hai toh thoda thick hota hai. Thoda sabr rakho behen, do din baad test kar lena.

This is such a common confusion! Usually, early pregnancy discharge is odorless and milky white. Keep yourself hydrated, eat healthy, and hopefully you will hear some good news very soon.
