Accepted Answer

Trust the test: Home pregnancy tests are very accurate. They are the same tests used in a doctors office. They can detect a pregnancy 7-10 days after conception. The best time to take one is when you miss your period.  If you doubt the result you can repeat it in 1-2 days. If you were pregnant the hormone level would rise enough for detection. The discharge requires separate evaluation.

Accepted Answer

Need pregnancy test.: Depending on your cycle length and when you ovulated, there is a chance that you could be pregnant. Please have a pregnancy test done, either at home or at physician office. Secondly,  I recommend that you start using protection and use it EVERY time you have sex, (even though you may believe he's monogamous).
