A white discharge, as you complain of, can be a normal discharge. If the discharge does not smell and there is no itching, then in all probability it is a normal discharge. It can be an early stage of fungal infection too.


Feeling tired and ‘feel i can pee for england’ can be due to a UTI or urinary tract infection.


Just based on these symptoms, it is difficult to diagnose pregnancy. HCG can be detected in urine or blood after implantation, which occurs six to twelve days after fertilization. So you can test now and see. Otherwise, you would have to wait for your expected date and see if your periods come. If you miss the period then you can run a pregnancy test. However, an ELISA test for pregnancy done at labs is only confirmatory as errors are know to occur when these tests are run at home.


It is difficult to comment beyond this at this stage on the internet without examining you. Please consult a gynecologist.
Take care!
