Question: Is clear watery discharge sign of pregnancy?<\/em><\/p>\n

Most women “that are expecting”<\/em> may easily confuse any change in color and texture of their vaginal discharge as pregnancy.<\/p>\n

While expecting mothers will want to learn about their pregnancy as quickly as possible, women “who are not expecting<\/em>” but involve in unsafe sexual intercourse will panic when they see a clear watery discharge.<\/p>\n

If you\u00a0have clear watery discharge and you are worried about pregnancy, you are not alone.<\/p>\n

Here’s a mail I received from one of my readers\"white<\/strong><\/p>\n

Hi Doc,<\/p>\n

I need your advice as am worried am already pregnant. I had sexual intercourse with my boyfriend\u00a0seven days after the end of my period. Today is 22nd of July and I’ve missed my period for about 3 days now.<\/p>\n

I’m scared now because I feel pregnant as my breast feels hard and I feel like throwing up all the time<\/a>. Worse still, I get this watery vaginal discharge that is becoming easily noticeable.<\/p>\n

Am I pregnant? Should I take a pregnancy test?<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

The truth is if you missed your period after having unprotected intercourse during your fertile days, clear watery discharge is a sign of pregnancy.<\/p>\n

What makes vaginal discharge to turn watery or fluid-like?\"\"<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

Vaginal discharge can vary in both volume and texture between your menstrual periods, and this occurs because of estrogen rise just after your menstrual period ends.<\/p>\n

After the end of your monthly period, your body hormones are usually high (especially estrogen). This causes women vaginal discharge to change thick creamy discharge (that you will notice after your period) to a more watery like discharge (that occurs just days before and during ovulation<\/a>)\"watery<\/p>\n

While most women will presume watery discharge before period to be abnormal and a pregnancy sign<\/strong>, if your ovulation is delayed, it is possible you will experience this type of vaginal discharge later than expected.<\/p>\n

This article\u00a0explains the causes of clear watery discharge, signs that indicate you are pregnant and when to worry.<\/p>\n

If you are expecting, then there is every reason to be happy if you’ve missed your period and experiencing\u00a0a clear vaginal discharge.<\/p>\n

During your menstrual cycle, it’s expected that your discharge will become thick and creamy after ovulation and in 2 – 3 days before next period starts, your vagina should feel dry.<\/p>\n

However, if you are 2 – 3 days from your next menstrual period and your vaginal discharge are excessive and watery-like, it’s an indication of elevated hormones (estrogen\u00a0and progesterone) that occurs in early pregnancy.<\/p>\n

Fourteen days before next menstrual period, your body produces an egg during ovulation. After ovulation occurs, the ruptured follicle will form the corpus luteum, which continues to produce hormones like estrogen and progesterone.<\/p>\n

These hormones play different roles in your body and most importantly thickens the uterine endometrium\u00a0for possible next pregnancy or next period (if you do not get pregnant).<\/p>\n

Should you not get pregnant, your body automatically will adjust and your corpus luteum breaks down leading to falling estrogen and progesterone levels.<\/p>\n

On the other hand, if you’ve had unsafe sexual intercourse during your fertile days<\/a>, you can get pregnant. During early pregnancy, the corpus luteum will not break down, leading to the continuous production of estrogen and progesterone.<\/p>\n

This elevated hormones will make you feel pregnancy symptoms and changes your expected thick discharge before menstrual period to a more watery vaginal discharge.<\/p>\n
