I haven't gotten my period yet. It's been about 5-7 days since I should've gotten it. I went off the pill in late July. I had sex Oct. 17, 18 & 19 when I saw my bf, but not since then. We used spermicidally lubricated condoms, and none had expired. And something wierd is happening, instead of bleeding, its like I'm leaking juices. Its the same way I am right after sex, almost like I'm always turned on, always wet. It's really wierd & hasn't ever happened before. Soooooooo....I don't want to have to wait until almost Thanksgiving to test for pregnancy, and I'm really scared, I'm only 19. Any advice would be greatly appreciated!!!!

Hi! If you are 5-7 days late now, then you can go ahead and test. I'm 20 and today was my 6th day being late. Just calm down and take a test and deal with things as they come. :-) When was your last period?

You don't have to wait until Thanksgiving. You said your around a week late, so that mean you can test right now. Oh and about the excess discharge...its called CM or cervical mucus, all through your cycle you produce different kinds of CM though you may hace not noticed before because you don't know what our looking for. An increase in CM can actually be a sign of pregnancy, but not always. I would try testing with a good test, an early one is better. Look for one that says you can test 3-4 days before your period is due, they read the lowest numbers of the pregnancy hormone hcg. Good ones to try are First Response Early, Clear Blue Early, or Answer Early. Good Luck.
