I'm 19 and have been sexually active with my fiancé for the past 8 months, before him, I had slept with my ex one time and before that was over a year. Anyway, I have not been sexually active in about 3 weeks as my fiancé is currently incarcerated until the middle of next month. When I was sexually active with him, sometimes I would experience light discharge randomly, it was never too concerning to me, and sometimes it would be mixed with semen after sex. His semen hasn't really liked to stay where it was since my first pregnancy and miscarriage in December 2010, which makes it difficult when trying again.
Right before he was incarcerated, my doctor explained to me pseudocyesis, or false pregnancy, which from my understanding occurs sometimes after a miscarriage and sometimes for other reasons. I had the symptoms of a pregnancy, including a positive test, but one issue: I wasn't pregnant. My understanding of this is that your hormones become out of whack and convince your body you're pregnant when you're not. Fortunately , my case wasn't as severe as some doctors have seen. Truthfully, I'd rather be told, as devastating as both scenarios are, that I had a "false pregnancy" instead of a miscarriage.
Since my miscarriage, almost 5 months ago I've been experiencing a mild amount of discharge, but since my fiancé has been away, I have not been sexually active in about 3 weeks and this discharge has recently gone from mild to excessive. No itching, no burning, no warnings of when it may happen, but multiple times in a day I find milky white discharge in my underwear and in the past 3 days alone, I have felt like I've wet myself, only to discover excessive amounts of discharge pouring out, menstrual like as many women have described. As I'm in the process of moving and doing a lot of back and forth greyhound traveling 2 hours away from home, pads are not always available, and o prefer tampons when menstruating, sometimes I grab for the closest thing, toilet paper or a paper towel so as not to ruin my underwear. One pair of underwear in particular, black ones, now appear to have a "bleach stain" because of this. This has never happened to me before and I am worried. As if I'm not stressed enough.
My last period was a little over 2 weeks ago and was normal in the beginning, but got really light by day two and I did not comPlete my usual 5 day period. I'm growing concerned, can anyone shed some light on this please?
