What Causes Unusual Watery Pink Discharge Instead Of Menstruation?
Hi I m on day 31 of my cycle which normally lasts 25-32 days. I think I ovulated on day 20.I have a watery pink discharge which is unlike my normal period which is really only when I wipe. I have taken a pregnancy test but it was negative. Could I possibly be pregnant?

Hi and thanks for sharing your concern with HCM.
A light pink discharge can either be due to a period delayed by illness, stress, weight changes or even changes in activity level. However, it could also be due to an implantation bleed which can happen in very early pregnancy.
Urine pregnancy tests are not always accurate, the best test to detect early pregnancy would be a blood test for serum beta HCG levels .
I'd recommend waiting a few days before going to see your regular doctor.
Hope this helps. Thanks.
