Question:
My boyfriend and i had unprotected sex (a quick one; so we didn't think that he would be coming soon) this was on Dec. 18 and unfortunately he happened to ejaculate. But the thing he told me that he was coming so i came out and a few seconds later he came. I'm not sure if his sperm came in or not but i'm very worried. Seven days after that i took a pregnancy test and it said that i was negative. That was a relief! But the problem is that today is the 2nd of january and i normally get my period on the 28 or the last weekend of the month. And lately i've been getting this vaginal discharge that is white (like durning sex) and normally i get the clear stretchy subtance. Does the substance mean i am pregnant? Are there any signs of pregnancy?

The cloudy vaginal discharge you describe is quite normal. A female's discharge changes depending on the time of her monthly cycle. So you have no need to worry about your discharge being "abnormal."
If you are worried about being pregnant, look for the following pregnancy signs: missed
period(s) or having a very light, short period; tender and swollen breasts; the need to go urinate frequently; nausea and/or vomiting; mood/appetite changes; and wet spots in your underwear. If you have any of these symptoms, though, don't panic. These are the same symptoms women experience before and during their menstrual periods as well. If there is a chance that you're pregnant, you should take a pregnancy test at a physician's office.
To avoid such scares in the future, use a condom. The withdrawal method that you and your boyfriend are using is not an effective method against pregnancy, or STDs or HIV for that matter. Often, a male will not withdraw during sex in time or completely, or sperm can be present in his pre-ejaculatory fluid and cause pregnancy. Furthermore, to avoid pregnancy scares due to irregularities in your menstrual cycle, you should consider going on the pill - which makes your menstrual cycle work like clockwork!
