What Causes Delay In Periods And Thick Yellow Discharge After Having Sex?

Hi! I am on tri previfem (birth control pills) and i take them around the same time every night. My boyfriend and i do have sex. This last week i have been having very thick yellowish discharge. But, no itching or burning. Today, I am one day late for my period. Is this yellow discharge a pregnancy symptom?? Or another problem

General & Family Physician 's  Response
Hello,

Thank you for posting your question in HCM.

The yellow discharge you are having is a sign of an infection more specifically a sexually transmitted disease. This is not a pregnancy symptom. You will have to take medication to treat this condition. Most likely is discharge has a fowl smell as well.

Take Flagyl 500mg orally twice a day for 7 days to treat this condition.
