Hello,
Yellowish discharge may sometimes be caused due to infection so using some probiotics and topical antibiotics may help. Fibronectin test is something that looks for the possibility of leakage of the amniotic fluid ahead of time. It can be done earlier than 28 weeks, but before that, even if the test is positive, chances of survival are less . Hence no point doing it earlier.
