Question : My wife had taken unwanted 72 on 12 October and today she was having thick white discharge along with vaginal itching. What medicine is preferable and is this sign of pregnancy? When shall her period start?
Brief Answer:
Not a sign of pregnancy
Detailed Answer:
Hello
Thanks for trusting us with your health concern.
Thick white discharge with itching is a sign of vaginal infections, most probably yeast infections.
She can try clotrimazole vaginal suppositories , but ideal is to visit a gynecologist and have a vaginal swab and culture test done to determine the exact nature of the offending organism.
Again, this is not a sign of pregnancy.
Unwanted 72 may disturb the menstrual cycle, so the next period maybe delayed by a few days.
Please take a pregnancy test if she skips her period by more than 2 weeks.
All the best.
please feel free to discuss further.

Thick white discharge is not a sign of any period coming.
With itching, it indicates infection.

Unwanted 72 will disturb normal periods, so there is no way to predict when the next period would come.
When was her last period ?
Does she have regular cycles ?
