Hello,
Thanks for posting your query.
You had unprotected sex thrice in last two weeks and took an emergency contraceptive yesterday. This does not rule out the possibility of you being pregnant.
The mild thick white discharge might be just a normal vaginal discharge due to routine hormonal changes in the body or may be suggestive of pregnancy.
If your periods do not come on 2nd Feb then you need to do a urine for pregnancy test on around 6th February with a morning sample of urine.
If your periods do start by then and you have a normal bleeding then the pregnancy is ruled out and the urine test is not needed.
Hope this answers your query. I will be glad to answer the follow up queries that you have.

Wishing you good health.

Hello.
Thanks for writing again.
Your period may be delayed due to morning after pill. Still if your periods are overdue you can test your urine after 6th. If the test is negative and the period does not come then you can repeat the test after a week.
Hope my answer is helpful.
