Is thick white discharge a sign of pregnancy?
My period is late, and I've been having some thick white discharge for a few days. My friend said it could be a sign of pregnancy. Is that true?

Yes, thick white discharge can be an early sign of pregnancy, but it also happens right before your periods or due to a mild yeast infection. A simple and practical solution is to buy a 50-rupee pregnancy test kit from the chemist and check after missing your period.
Haan beta, during early pregnancy, the body changes a lot and this white discharge is quite common. But don't worry, sometimes it is just normal body heat. Wait for a few days and see if your periods are on time.
An increase in estrogen levels during early pregnancy does cause thick, odorless white discharge (called leukorrhea). However, if it is itchy or has a bad smell, it could be a yeast infection. Keep track of your cycle and do a home test if you miss your date.
I remember analyzing every single bodily change when we were trying to conceive, and it was so emotionally draining. Yes, I had thick white discharge when I finally got pregnant, but I also had it in months when I wasn't. Try to relax and do a test to be sure.
While it can be a sign of early pregnancy, thick white discharge can also indicate a vaginal infection which needs proper treatment. For your own safety, please monitor if there is any burning or itching, and consult a gynecologist.

My wife had this exact same thing along with sudden cravings for sour raw mangoes during her early weeks! It is very common, but a quick home test is the only way to know if you're actually expecting.
Don't spend money on expensive doctor visits just yet if you only have discharge. Wait until your period is missed by 4-5 days, then buy a cheap home test kit. If that is positive, then you can plan a proper consultation with a gynecologist.
