Discharge instead of period?

[TooWorry]

Okay so I'm currently 3 days late for my period. I had protected sex using a condom but I don't know what is going on. My PMS has been on & off. I had nipple soreness which is what I usually get before a period but it comes & goes. And now I'm having this whitish clear-ish discharge instead of my period. I keep on thinking its coming but only to wipe & see discharge. I'm trying to reframe from Google but I can't help but search. This discharge was what a lot of women got before becoming pregnant. Is this true? Is it normal for PMS to fluctuate & start & stop like this? I'm getting anxious & never wanted my period to come so bad.

We will not answer ANY questions about pregnancy fear or anxiety in our direct services from users who are not pregnant or who are not or have not otherwise been directly involved with an actual pregnancy.

Please do not post this kind of question. If you are seeing this text, and your thread is locked, it is because you have posted this kind of question.

We CAN and WILL talk about things like:
• choosing and using a method or methods of contraception for any future sexual activity
• creating your own sexual limits and boundaries based on your needs and/or presenting them to any partners
• making sexual choices that suit your own needs, abilities and limitations, including your own readiness for certain possible risks
• help locating or using emergency contraception if and when you have had a pregnancy risk,
discussing options with a real, existing pregnancy, and help finding and accessing those options, such as abortion services and pre-natal care, or discussing feelings or concerns about a past pregnancy
• help with anxiety like locating mental health services, sound self-help or asking for support from friends or family

To address the last part of your message, there is really no normal kind, time or type of discharge. Unfortunately searching around the internet often leads to false or generalized information and usually only increases anxiety.
