Too soon to know: The age of three years, i trust is an error. It is too soon to know if your are pregnant. Conception, as defined by the generation of a fertilized ovum, occurs within day or so of the sex. However, it takes about 2-3 weeks for the embryo to make enough HCG to produce a positive pregnancy test. Blood test may be done a day after a missed period. Home pregnancy tests should be done 4-5 days after the missed period. If the result is negative repeat the test in 4-5 days. Use first morning urine and follow instructions for the test carefully. If you do not wish to be pregnant, use contraception all the time, every time. You may consider implanted contraceptive, or IUD. Practice safe sex.

No Relation: The fact that you noticed a small amount of white transparent discharge following your period does not suggest that you are pregnant. If you truly do not want to be pregnant, then I strongly suggest that you see your clinician to initiate a highly effective method of contraception. In the meantime use condoms consistently. If you miss your next period, check a home pregnancy test. Take Care.
