A member asked:

Vaginal infections? i usually get an infection right before my period... could this affect my abilities to get pregnant or cause any other problems?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Maybe: You should see your gynecologist who would test the discharge and see what type of infection it is so it can be treated before you get pregnant.
