I hope I can get some advice on this. I'm 18 and my cycle has been a little bit crazy this month. I had my ''period'' on the 21st but it only lasted 4 days while my periods usually last a week or so, it had a normal flow for me (heavy one) but I noticed there was a lot of discharge the first day and the last day (when the flow was lighter). Also, I got PMS symptoms two weeks before my period, nausea, headaches, and sore boobs but weird thing was they also increased in size like a lot (also my areolas!). During my period all the symptoms dissapeared and my boobs reduce its size again, I only had constipation but I always have it with my periods so it's normal. The problem is that now, just few days after my period ended my boobs are starting to hurt again but the pain is on and off, not all the time. And yestarday my discharge was crazy, in the afternoon it was thick and a little bit yellow (normal for me) but at night it was like egg white and this morning was thick and yellow again. I've under a lot of stress lately due to some family issues and also because fearing of being pregnant, so I'm thinking it could be hormonal imbalance. I'm a virgin but I've done some foreplay with my boyfriend (whom I'm also having problems with so more stress), and even when he's never ejaculated near my vagina or even on my body I believe there is still a possibility because he's masturbated me. I've done some research and I might have had an annovulatory cicle, which could explain the short period and the crazy symtoms due the the lack of progesteron, and now I'm having sore boobs and stuff because I'm finally ovulating (egg white like discharge), but I'm not expert of course so there are more doubts and questions than clear answers.

Hello Anon

Thank you for writing.
You can't be pregnant.
Your period may be short for you but a four day heavy period is not considered short. It sounds like stress may have given you an "off" month. The extra discharge could be due to extra cleaning of the vagina by your body. Anyone can have a rather odd month. See what happens next month.
