Hi Amanda,

It is possible, though unlikely you will get pregnant from this one accident. Sperm can usually live up to 48 hours inside your body, so that is just about two days. As for the discharge, the kind you describe is not ovulatory type discharge, which could indicate that you already ovulated, or won't this cycle. Ovulatory discharge should be slick, stretchy, and clearish, not white. It should stretch several inches between your fingers. Women don't always ovulate every cycle. Bottom line though is its just too early to tell. There is no "pregnant" and "not pregnant" types of discharge that I'm aware of, and in this case as its only been four days I can't imagine your body changing so quickly to affect the discharge. Since I've been pregnant, I've only noticed symtoms after I was a whole week and a half late, and from about 4 weeks on I've had much clear, slick, not sticky, discharge.

I hate to say it, but to me it looks like your choices are to wait it out, or go ask your doctor for some type of "morning after" prophylactic if you are 100% sure you don't want to be pregnant at this time. Its just not possible this early to diagnose a pregnancy. One more thing to consider, for every healthy, fertile couple that plan to get pregnant and try for it, the success rate for just one cycle is only about 25%. Even with perfect timing. So I'd say that if you had just this one accident, your odds of being pregnant would be slightly less than that. Good luck for the outcome you desire! Let us know how things go.
