i posted the last "worried i might be pregnant" but i forgot to add that iv also been having some sort of wierd pains in my lower ab. they come and go and their not too bad. can this mean im pregnant? if not what can it be, and if im not can i have just normal cramps and sore nipples when my period isnt due for about 2 wks?? i do get cramps and sore nipples when im about to get my period sometimes though. my last period wasnt very long and was a lot lighter than usual and this was before i had done anything so it doesnt mean i was already pregnant.

Subjective pregnancy symptoms
If you experienced your monthly menstrual cycle, you have expelled the ovum (egg) which creates a pregnancy and there is no chance that you are pregnant. To be sure that you are not pregnant, you will need to take a pregnancy test. The symptoms that you describe are subjective and cannot be relied upon to predict a pregnancy.

I see. The only way to know if you are pregnant or not is to wait until your period is due to arrive and test then. The cramps you are experiencing might be due to ovulation. Sometimes when we ovulate, we can feel this and is manifests as pain in the lower abdomen. Take a look at this picture:

Vaginal discharge caused by an increase in your body's levels of estrogen and is called "leucorrhea". This type of discharge originates from secretions from the vagina and the cervix, as well as cells from the vagina walls and typical bacterial from the vagina and is quite normal. It is typically odorless or has only a mild odor. It is generally milky white in appearance. However, if you notice a foul odor or a color other than clear or milky white, and/or you have itching and burning, you may actually have a vaginal infection or an STD (sexually transmitted disease). You can sense leucorrhea if you keep track of your monthly vaginal secretions and are really tuned in to your body, and this discharge occurs after conception.
