Brief Answer:
Rule out pregnancy first.

Detailed Answer:
Hello,
Thanks for trusting us with your health concern.
You had unsafe sex on day 10 of her periods. The chances of pregnancy are present although the chances are less than 10%.
Now that her periods are overdue she can do a urine pregnancy test or a blood test for B-hcg to exclude/confirm pregnancy.

If the blood test comes out negative, she nay have to go for investigations like USG lower abdomen, Thyroid Profile, LH/FSH, Blood sugar etc to rule out underlying pathology, if any. It may be due to hormonal imbalance, Irregular eating habit, stress/anxiety,Ovarian cyst etc.

Consult with your Gynecologist/Physician and take suggestive measures according to reports.

Please feel free to discuss further. I will be glad to answer the follow up queries that you have.
Wishing you good health.
Regards.

Brief Answer:
No pregnancy.

Detailed Answer:
Hello.
Thanks for writing again.
Yes. A negative pregnancy test means no pregnancy. You can relax now and wait for the periods to start spontaneously. The white fluid will decrease once the periods will start.
Hope my answer is helpful.
Do accept my answer in case there are no further queries.
