  Hi guys! I rarely ever douche because I know it’s not great for your vaginal health, however last Saturday I douched because I was experiencing some discharge. Well, Sunday I took a pregnancy and it came out positive. According to my app and the date of my last period, I would’ve been 5 weeks on the following Monday. Should I be worried?

  Just don't do it again.  
  
  If you are that worried, ask your doctor at your 1st appointment.

  What @harpse135 said. Also, I recommend reading up on vaginal discharge, or cervical fluid, such as on a website like Fertility Friend or Kindara or in a book like Taking Charge of Your Fertility. Discharge is normal and healthy and is not a reason to douche.
