Am worried because my menses is due today the 6th but i have no menstral pain .am discharging white thick fluid like egg . Is it pregnancy? How long do i have to wait ? Is it delaying cos of the postinor 2 i took On the 2nd and the 12th feburary? Or maybe am stressing

Brief Answer:
wait for another 7-10 days.

Detailed Answer:
Hello
Thanks for the follow-up question here.

Postinor can delay period by upto 7-10 days.

Your periods are due on 6th and you are having white thick discharge.

Sometimes, this white discharge can be a sign of impending menstruation.
So I would suggest you to not stress yourself. Stress itself can affect the menses.

Wait for another 7-10 days.

If you donot get your periods, you must consult a gynecologist.

You can confirm pregnancy status by a urine pregnancy test.

Feel free to ask further.
Hope this helps.
Take care.
Thanks.

can the white thick egg look fluid be a sign of ovulation? if yes then i think i will be pregnant because i had unprotected sex on the 4th march. and am passing this fluid on the 6th march or it is the sperms from the 4thmarch intercourse passing out?

i had menstral pains on the 4th that is why i thought it will be safe.
can that pains on the 4th be a sign of ovulation?

is it too early to have a urine test now?

thank you

Brief Answer:
ovulation kit; impending menstruation.

Detailed Answer:
Sorry for the late reply.

It is most probably the semen.
However, to rule out the possibility of ovulation, you can test the ovulation by ovulation kit.

Pain is a rare sign of ovulation. It is more suggestive of impending periods.

UPT can detect pregnancy as early as next day of missed periods.

I would still suggest you to wait for another week or so for your periods and try to be calm.

Hope this helps.

Thanks.

many many thanks for all the support.

DR.is it possible that ovulation can delay until the 4th march due to the postinor 2 i took on the 2nd feburary and 12th feburary. my last menstral period was on the 6th of feburary. so i was expecting it again on the 6th march. i do not have the ovulation kits now.

the last time i took postinor 2 was about 5 years ago . is there any home remedy i can do to facilitate the period.

i have some weird taste in my mouth. actually it takes the same way when i took the postinor 2.

thanks

Brief Answer:
postinor can not delay ovulation for such long.

Detailed Answer:
Happy to help you.

In my opinion, postinor can not delay ovulation for such a long time ( almost 20 days in your case).

To facilitate periods, you can take 250 mg of raw papaya every morning till you get your periods.

OR

Ginger can also help in facilitating periods. Boil some ginger in a cup of water.
Drink this cup of ginger juice 3 time a day after meals. This can also help in periods.

For weird taste, you can keep a piece of cardamom sweet fennel seeds in your mouth.

Hope this helps.

Kindly close the discussion if you have no more queries.

Hoping for a positive feedback from your side.

I wish you good health.

Thanks.
