About a month ago I had sex. I had my period. My period was heavy like usual but it was only 2 days long. My period is usually 5 to 6 days long. Then, just a couple of days ago I started to have a clear discharge but this time the discharge is so heavy that it started to go through my paints a little. I just don't have the time or money to have a pregnancy test right now. Could this be a sign of pregnancy?

The clear discharge may actually be a sign of approaching ovulation. Often the discharge prior to ovulation will become more abundant, fluid, and clear. This helps in allowing sperm to survive longer and move towards the possibility of fertilizing the egg once it is released.
Generally, increased white discharge may be associated with being pregnant.
You could check out planned parenthood, the health department, or another pregnancy center near you regarding free or reduced cost pregnancy tests. Otherwise, put some money aside, see what happens when your next period is due and test at that time if it doesn't show.
