Discharge: It is not uncommon to miss a menstrual cycle when taking birth control. As long as your pregnancy test is negative then this is not a cause for concern. Vaginal discharge has many causes but testing is required to determine the cause and treatment

Wait: I would wait at least one more week. If you still haven't had a period, repeat the pregnancy test.
