Dear Seema,
I do empathize your feelings.
Delayed period by one day is not considered as delayed period at all. Even if this delay is due to pregnancy, the other symptoms of pregnancy do not appear so early. It takes about a week to 10 days for other symptoms like nausea & vomiting, frequent urination and breasts symptoms to appear.
At this stage, the only test which can definitely detect the pregnancy is Beta hCG test on blood. Values under 5 mIU/ml are suggestive of no pregnancy while values above 25 mIU/ml are diagnostic of pregnancy.
Your headache and heartburn appears to be due to hyperacidity in the stomach. Gelucil like antacids will give you relief. Just before the menses, increased mucoid white discharge is found from the vagina; however, if the discharge is white or greenish white, it suggests fungal or trichomonal vaginal infestation. The former may be treated by antifungal creams while later is treated by Metronidazole. Yellowish white discharge is due to bacterial infection and requires a course of antibiotics.
Please report to your Gynaecologist for vaginal white discharge.
I hope this helps you.
