I just went off the pill, I had one week of period and now this is my first week off the pills (so really two weeks, but that was my non active pill week) Ok anyway, I have noticed a lot more discharge. I don't want to gross anyone out...but it is thick and mucousy. I'm worried that something is wrong! I have never had it stringy thick like glue before!! has this happened to anyone before? and i know its not a std, i have not had sex in like 4 weeks! and i have a faithful boyfriend of 9 months, we both got tested in the summer.

It is totally normal to have it be the consistency of paste. Some people call it sticky cm. Then for most people it turns creamy, kind of cool to the touch. And then it turns clear and stretchy and you are at your highest fertility. After ovulation you should dry up pretty quickly. You might want to read Taking Charge of Your Fertility. After a few cycles you'll find it a lot easier to know what is normal and what is an infection.
