One More Question About Pregnancy Discharge?

Question by diyola02: One more question about pregnancy discharge?

I am TTC and I’ve all of a sudden noticed a total increase in this White discharge, so much so that I was begining to think something was wrong. No foul smells, no discomfort, only EXTREME white discharge any time of the day. Can I use this as an indication of pregnancy? Is this normal so early in the first trimester?
I’m passed my ovualtion period. I made sure to have intercourse during my ovulation. so now its just a waiting game until I can test. I’m just trying to see if this is a sign of a positive pregnancy.
