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.
