Pregnancy tests are negative simply
because you are not pregnant.
Lack of the period (amenorrhea) is the
first serious sign of pregnancy but not
every amenorrhea means being pregnant.
Amenorrhea can be due to every disorder
that decreases or blocks the function of
the axis hypothalamus-pituitary-ovaries
(hypogonadism).
Vaginal discharge is usually due to a
vaginal infection. You can request a
microbiological vaginal examination to
identify the infective agent.
It is likely that lack of the period and
your possible vaginal infection are
present together accidentally.
You can request an expert opinion from a
gynecologist.
