Missed Periods, Have Pregnancy Symptoms, Tests Negative. Nursing The Baby May Be The Cause?

I am still nursing my 14 month old daughter but my periods returned when she was 10 months old and had been regular until this last month. I am now nearly 3 weeks late, thought I might be pregnant because I had several early pregnancy symptoms but 3 negative tests. I am assuming my missed period is just because of the breast feeding, but I am wondering why I continue to have clear and white discharge every day. Sometimes it looks like ovulation discharge: clear and stringy, other times just white. Is this pretty normal? Thanks, C

With 3 pregnancy tests negative and missed periods it is less likely that you could be pregnant ,it is due to the hormonal changes that you might have misse dyour period,just get a sonography done to rule out any ovarian cyst which might have delayed your periods.
regarding the white discharge if it is not symptomatic then nothing to worry,but if it smells bad or leads to itching or any other such symptoms then just see your doctor once to rule out local infection and get appropriate medication.
