Answer
Hi Shayla,
Thanks for your question. I'm not a medical doctor so please check with your physician about your question. In my opinion, I would suggest a pregnancy test at a local pregnancy testing center. You can hopefully find one in your area by going to http://www.optionline.org
I'm not sure what the discharge could be. It sounds like a slight period. I used to have periods sometimes like that.
Check out the pregnancy test and email me at DCHERYL51@yahoo.com and let me know what happens. Perhaps when you call your doctor, the nurse could advise you.
