so i'm really worried i may be pregnant. my period hasn't come yet, but my period isn't exactly stable yet, atleast not from what i remember. around the week i got my period last month though i was getting stomach aches here and then so i thought i was getting my period but turns out i didn't , until now i still don't. and that was just a week ago. another thing, is thick white discharge a sympton of pregnancy? it's stopped just yesterday but around four days ago till yest i've been getting thick white some sort of a smell discharge. its not the first time ive gotten it though, i remember i have also in the past, and i wasn't pregnant.

what are the chances?

Hi,
Welcome to ehealthforum,
Thick white smelly discharge could suggest presence of infection. Absence of periods or delay could be suggestive of pregnancy (if you are sexually active and not on any form of birth control). The exact cause can be made out after thorough examination to rule out pregnancy. A vaginal swab/smear test done would help in ruling out vaginal infection. If infection is detected, get both you and your partner treated simultaneously to prevent re-infection. Visit your doctor/gynecologist for further evaluation and treatment.
Take care.
