Why Do I Have White Discharge and Pain?
You may have a yeast infection, which often causes itching, stinging, and a white discharge. This is usually due to an overgrowth of Candida fungus. Over-the-counter antifungal creams or tablets can treat it effectively. To prevent further issues, wear loose cotton underwear and keep the area dry and clean.

Negative Pregnancy Tests but 12 Days Late: Could I Be Pregnant?
Missing a period is possible. It happens if the pregnancy hormone is low. Being late for 12 days could mean you're pregnant. Stress, weight changes, and hormone problems could also cause this. If you think you might be pregnant, wait. Take another test later. If still unsure, get a blood test. Blood tests are more accurate than home tests.

Why Did I Have a Positive Pregnancy Test 5 Days Ago and Light Bleeding Today?
Light spotting during early pregnancy happens frequently. This implantation bleeding occurs when the egg attaches to the uterus. It usually isn't concerning and may come around when your period is due. However, rest and avoid strenuous activities to be cautious. Monitor the bleeding closely - contact a gynecologist immediately if it gets heavier or you have severe cramps.
