Do you experience milky white discharge before or after your period and you’re worried it may be pregnancy?
Surely, if you’ve had sexual intercourse some weeks or days ago, your excessive milky discharge could be a sign of pregnancy.
However, ovulation , sexual intercourse, vaginal douching and infections may also cause milky discharge.
This article explains 7 main causes of milky discharge and when it’s likely due to pregnancy or an infection.
Every woman during her fertile years is expected to have menstruation . Between each period, the texture and thickness of your discharge will vary.
Just before ovulation, your discharge can be clear, watery and stretchy . It is due to estrogen rise just before you ovulate .
After ovulation , your vaginal discharge becomes creamy white discharge.
Just before your period starts, you will notice a thick white discharge coming from your vaginal area. This is due to the increased level of progesterone hormone in the second half of your menstrual cycle . It is a normal discharge and does not need any treatment.
Milky white discharge is normal in most women and you don’t have to worry about it. However, if your vaginal discharge has an unpleasant smell, it’s time to talk to your doctor.
Milky white discharge is normal in women and can occur in these conditions.
Ovulation is the process where the egg is discharged from the dominant follicle in the ovary. The egg will then fuse with the sperm (from the man) to form a baby.
Before ovulation, there is a rise in estrogen level. This will cause increased production of cervical mucus that makes the vaginal discharge to be a sticky and watery discharge . This is not a problem and you should not worry about this.
Every woman should learn about their ovulation symptoms to know when you ovulate. If you are trying to conceive and don’t know how to get pregnant, then having regular intercourse during this period (your fertile window) increase your chances.
Milky discharge is not abnormal when it occurs in the middle of your menstrual cycle as it is mostly because you’re ovulating.
If you become pregnant, you may notice an increase in cervical mucus production that comes out as milky discharge. This is usually due to hormone changes in early pregnancy. Excessive milky white discharge after a missed period is a sign of pregnancy.
If you are expecting a pregnancy then it is okay. However, if you’re not then you can talk to your doctor if abortion is legal in your country.
Milky white discharge comes out normally during intercourse. Also, some women will notice increased vaginal discharge when they are aroused or stimulated. This is due to stimulation of the Bartholin gland to make the vaginal canal watery for increased pleasure.
This should not concern you except your discharge is smelly with signs of inflammation.
Women can have abnormal white discharge. This should not be confused with the normal white milky discharge. Conditions that can cause abnormal white discharge are:
Yeast infection discharge. During a yeast infection, women complain of thick curdy discharge that is whitish . In addition, there are symptoms of vulva itching, pain during intercourse and soreness.
If you experience these symptoms, then your discharge is abnormal and you should inform your doctor.
Vaginal douche. Vaginal douching is an unsafe way to clean your vulva. it can disrupt the vaginal flora leading to infection. Creamy white discharge with fishy smell is common in these women.
Now you already know most milky white discharge are normal. However, if your discharge changes color, become smelly and start itching then it is abnormal. These are some abnormal discharge colors and what they mean.
Green discharge . If you experience any light green discharge then it is not normal. It’s commonly due to PID (pelvic inflammatory disease). PID can cause problems if not treated. Symptoms like low abdomen pain, vomiting, fever are early signs of PID infection .
Yellow discharge . If you are having consistent yellow discharge then you have an infection. Let your doctor know as soon as possible.
These are commonly asked questions about white milky discharge you should know. If you have any more questions feel free to share.
White discharge is not a problem except you notice an odor and vaginal itch. Most women during their menstrual cycle will have thick discharge at the beginning and the end of their cycle.
Also, in the middle of your cycle, vaginal discharge is watery. This is normal in women and should not worry you.
Thick white discharge at the beginning and late part of your cycle is not a sign of pregnancy. However, if you missed your period and you’re experiencing watery discharge then it is likely you’re pregnant.
Other pregnancy symptoms like breast tenderness, getting tired easily, nausea and vomiting will give a clue if you’re pregnant. Still not sure, then check your pregnancy status by running a test.
Yes, it is normal due to increase progesterone hormone in the late half of your menstrual cycle. However, if there is a smell, odor, pain during intercourse then you should worry.
There are 2 possible scenarios. If your milky white discharge before your period occurs at the middle of your menstrual cycle, then it is like due to ovulation. It could also be due to pregnancy if it occurs just before you’re expecting your next period.
If your white discharge is after your missed period, then you are pregnant. If you experience white discharge after the end of your period, then its okay and normal.
Yes. milky white discharge means you’re pregnant if you missed your period. However, if it occurs 14 to 16 days while expecting your next period, then its likely due to ovulation.
The normal vaginal discharge does not have an odor or cause vaginal itching. If you experience odor with white discharge then it is likely due to a yeast infection.
Most women with white milky discharge do not require any treatment. It is normal as your discharge can change to thick white discharge during your menstrual cycle.
However, if your white discharge is due to yeast infection and clumpy then it can be treated with fluconazole and Canesten cream.
Thick white clumpy discharge is due to yeast infection. Other symptoms include vaginal itch, soreness, and unusual vaginal odor. Women that are HIV positive and diabetic patients are more prone to yeast infection.
No. Vaginal discharge without any odor is normal and does not require any treatment. However, thick white discharge with odor is abnormal.
Now it is your turn . Do you have milky discharge with odor? share your experiences and questions.

Feeling a little damp down there? Experiencing an increase in milky white discharge is totally normal during pregnancy. Here’s what to know—plus, some tips to help you feel dry and fresh.

A sudden increase in watery discharge. If you’re experiencing what seems like a constant flow or perpetual dripping of thin, watery fluid, it could indicate a small leak of amniotic fluid instead of leukorrhea. How can you tell the difference? Amniotic fluid leak will keep going and may even smell slightly sweet. Leukorrhea can be annoying, but it won’t gush out and shouldn’t smell like much of anything.
A greenish tint or foul smell. “It’s important to call your doctor if you notice that the leukorrhea becomes associated with a foul odor, or if it’s causing irritation such as painful urination or a burning sensation in the vagina,” says Lopez. These symptoms may indicate an infection.
An increase in thickness or chunky white discharge. Leukorrhea is typically thin. If it becomes extra thick or has a chunky white texture, it can be a sign of a yeast infection, which your doctor can treat to prevent further discomfort and itchiness.

Vaginal discharge isn’t a topic most of us want to discuss with our friends. But the fact is, every woman experiences some degree of discharge. And that’s actually a very good thing; it helps to keep vaginal tissue healthy and protects against infection, according to the Mayo Clinic . What’s more, it’s very normal to have an increase in discharge when you have a baby on board. It’s called leukorrhea of pregnancy, and it’s no big deal. But it may explain why you’re feeling slightly swampy down there. So what exactly is leukorrhea and what does it look like? We’re sharing everything you need to know about this thin, milky white discharge—plus, some tips to help you feel a bit fresher.
Leukorrhea is the medical term for vaginal discharge, and it’s common to have more of it during pregnancy. In the vast majority of cases, it’s completely normal. But when does leukorrhea start during pregnancy? If you recently learned that you’re expecting, you can also expect an uptick in leukorrhea; early pregnancy is often when many women notice a sudden surge. “Leukorrhea may become more noticeable, especially during the first trimester and toward the end of the third trimester closer to delivery,” says Heather Lopez , MD, an ob-gyn with BJC Medical Group at Missouri Baptist Medical Center. She explains that this is “due to increased blood flow to the vagina as well as an increase in pregnancy hormones.”
Normal vaginal discharge changes throughout a woman’s cycle; as you approach and reach ovulation , cervical mucus may evolve from a cloudy, milky white hue to a more translucent discharge with a stretchy, slippery texture.
You may have a similar thin, milky white discharge during pregnancy. That’s simply one way to describe the inevitable increase in moisture that occurs during pregnancy; you may also notice an increase in sweat in that general area too, which is also common during pregnancy. (Chalk it up to those surging hormones.) For most pregnant women, leukorrhea does resemble milk; it’s somewhat watery and white or cloudy. Leukorrhea discharge can even leave a chalky stain on your underwear. Still, there are many variations of “normal” when it comes to leukorrhea in pregnancy, so don’t be surprised if your discharge looks a bit different.
Heather Bartos , MD, an ob-gyn and medical director at Be. Women’s Health & Wellness in Frisco, Texas, outlines the many different types of leukorrhea discharge: “Normal leukorrhea can be a milky white vaginal discharge that’s opaque. But it can also be a bit yellow or even slightly brown.” If it’s more of a clear mucus, that’s fine too. ”But it’s usually thin, unlike the thicker curd-like discharge you typically see with a yeast infection,” she explains.
So how do you know what’s normal and what’s not when it comes to leukorrhea in pregnancy? Just keep an eye out for any changes to the discharge you’re having. “When I talk to my patients about leukorrhea, we discuss that the amount and frequency of leukorrhea can be different for each patient,” says Lopez.
While leukorrhea discharge varies from woman to woman, there are some potential red flags to watch for. “Call your doctor if the leukorrhea has changed for you—it now has a different smell or it’s blood tinged, meaning there’s a pink or dark brown tinge to it, or if it becomes very irritating and you’re worried that it might be something like yeast or bacterial vaginosis,” Bartos advises. When it comes to leukorrhea discharge, you’ll want to reach out to your OB or midwife if you experience any of the following:
Experiencing extra leukorrhea discharge during pregnancy isn’t usually something to worry about. It can be kind of inconvenient and annoying, though—feeling perpetually damp or oozy down there isn’t particularly pleasant. The key to abating any discomfort is taking proactive steps to make yourself feel dry and fresh. “If leukorrhea during pregnancy is causing irritation or itchiness, it’s okay to use a zinc oxide cream to form a protective barrier,” says Bartos. She also suggests dusting a pinch of cornstarch into your underwear to help absorb some of the excess moisture. Other helpful tips for dealing with the milky white discharge of pregnancy? Lopez suggests wearing a panty liner and opting for breathable cotton underwear. She also warns against any vaginal douching.
Leukorrhea isn’t the most glamorous side effect of pregnancy, but it’s not something to stress about either. Remember: That thin, milky white discharge is helping keep your vagina clean, and it should eventually subside. Of course, if you have any concerns about normal (or abnormal) leukorrhea or anything else, reach out to your doctor.

Most experts recommend cow's milk as the healthiest kind of milk to drink during pregnancy. It has the best nutritional profile with a broad selection of vitamins and minerals you need during pregnancy, including calcium and vitamin D . But if you're avoiding dairy, whether because of an intolerance or personal preference, alternative milks can be okay, too.
Learn about the nutritional makeup of milk and milk alternatives so you can be sure you're getting enough of the pregnancy nutrients you need.
Most experts recommend cow's milk while you're pregnant because it's packed with nutrients for you and your developing baby. Calcium and vitamin D are especially important in helping build and maintain strong bones. Cow's milk is also rich in protein , providing essential amino acids, which are the building blocks for your baby's cells.
If you're trying to reduce the amount of saturated fat in your diet, you may want to choose 1 percent or skim milk. Otherwise, it's fine to drink 2 percent or whole milk.
Avoid drinking raw (unpasteurized) milk or any products made with raw milk during pregnancy, as they could contain harmful bacteria.
Soy milk has nearly as much protein as cow's milk and is often fortified to match the calcium content of cow's milk. But your body may not get all of that calcium, since soy contains a natural compound that inhibits calcium absorption.
Flavored non-dairy milks often contain added sugars, so if you're watching your sugar intake, look for an unflavored, unsweetened variety.
Soy milk has the closest nutritional value to cow's milk compared to other common non-dairy milks, so some experts say it's the best alternative milk to drink during pregnancy.
If you have an allergy to dairy or soy, almond milk may be your go-to milk alternative. It's less nutrient-dense and lower in protein than cow's milk, but naturally contains some vitamin A and calcium. Some varieties are fortified
