May i know that Is this considered normal? The volume of water was not much, but my underpant was wet.

ANSWER: Hello NQL from Malasia,
This discharge is normal. I presume that you don't get up and go to the bathroom at night or after your intercourse. If that is so, then it is the liquefied semen that is coming out. This should not affect your chances of pregnancy. If you do go to the bathroom at night or after intercourse, then the discharge could be something else. There is not way to know this without an examination, so you would have to see your doctor for a check-up.

QUESTION: Ya, you're right, i go back to sleep immediate after intercourse.
My friend told me that i have to relax, & can't be nervous if i'm preparing for pregnant. She said that pressure is the biggest killer for pregnancy.
Is that true ?
Sometimes, i think that i need psychological treatment,because My girlfriends all got baby but i still can't be pregnant.
Thanks a lot.
AnswerHello Again,
Not everybody is the same, and getting pregnant is more difficult for some people than others. It is best that you don't compare yourself to your friends. Keep in mind that it takes 8-12 months for most women to become pregnant.
Stress can certainly decrease the chances for pregnancy, as shown in some studies, but we don't exactly by what mechanism. Being stress free is the best approach.
