Vaginal discharge or leukorrhea occurs through the menstrual cycle and is usually white before & after the period. Discharge may start out as thin liquid before the time of ovulation. During ovulation, the discharge thickens and becomes mucus like. After ovulation, i.e., in second half of the cycle, discharge increases usually.

I'm around 5 and a half weeks pregnant and I took mifepristone followed by 4 misopristone tablets vaginally about 4 hours later.
