Hi my period is 2 days late.. I took a early firstresponse pregnancy test 2 days before my period is due and it came out negative.. Now I have a lot of white discharge coming out.. I had spotting on 18/Jan so I think that's when I ovulate.. Can I white thick discharge mean am pregnant? I will test again tomorrow morning.. But just like to see if anyone has been in that situation? Thank you

Yes you could definitely be pregnant. The pregnancy test is testing for the hcg level in your urine, and you may be pregnant but your hcg levels are still too low to be detected, even by a first response test. My advise would be to take another test tomorrow, using your first morning urine, which will have the highest concentrate of hcg compared with a sample obtained during the day. If it still comes out negative, and your period still doesn't come by Monday, and if this is unusual for you, go see your doctor and get a blood test. Good luck!

Ps the discharge could be a symptom of pregnancy, it definitely was for both of mine, but it may also be a normal part of your cycle. You would know better than anyone if you normally have this before your period starts.
Also, the spotting you had would be more likely to be associated with implantation than ovulation. It is very rare for women to bleed when they ovulate. However, if that was on the 18th, I would definitely expect your hcg level to be high enough by now. Let us know either way!
