Hello, and I hope I can help you today.

If you are having unprotected intercourse and not using contraception, there is always a risk of pregnancy. However pregnancy symptoms can vary widely between women, and the most common sign of pregnancy is a missed menstrual cycle.

In addition, the character and amount of your vaginal discharge varies normally with your ovulatory cycle. I do not know the first day of your last period, however in the first 7 to 14 days of your cycle is normal to have clear or white discharge that can become very thin and runny at the time of ovulation, and then gets thicker as you approach your next menstrual cycle. As long as you're vaginally discharge does not have a strong odor or itch, it is likely normal and just due to normal hormonal changes.

Furthermore, what causes the "glow" of your face during pregnancy is increase blood flow to your head and face, which is why many pregnant women get frequent headaches. It is not a universal symptom of pregnancy, and if you have not yet missed a period, there is no way your face rash is due to pregnancy.

I hope I was able to adequately answer your question today, and that my advice was helpful.

Best wishes, Dr. Brown
