I've been really worried because I got dengue around July 21st, and my period was due on August 10th, but it's now the 19th and still nothing. Until now, my periods have always been regular. Could the dengue have messed up my cycle? I would really appreciate some advice.

I'm a bit concerned because it's the 43rd day and I still haven't gotten my period. On the 40th day, I noticed some discomfort in my lower abdomen, and now there's this thick white milky discharge. Could these be signs of early pregnancy, or is it something else? I'm not sure what to make of this.
