Hello,
Thanks for trusting us with your health concern. From the description you have given, it appears that you are experiencing hormone imbalance. It is too early to detect any pregnancy and with the type of discharge that you are experiencing, it is likely to be a breakthrough bleeding. Implantation bleeding occurs around the expected period and is a fresh bleeding. If you wish to exclude pregnancy, you can get the estimation of the serum beta-hCG titres a week before your period is due followed by a trans-vaginal sonogram a week or two later. Hope this helps.
