Hi guys, I'm new here and kind of panicky. I'm 22 years old and am on the pill. I've just started seeing this new guy who is rather well endowed. Well, the first time we slept together I had little brown specks in my discharge the day later, no big deal, I just figured he bumped things around a little too much. It happened again about the 4th time we did it... which was about a week and a half ago... and immediately after the deed I got these super intense cramping pains in my stomach, like period cramps only harder, that lasted about 10 - 15 minutes. Next day, little bit of blood in discharge. We then slept together 3 days ago, the next day my discharge was thick, boogery texture and yellow with a little tiny sign of blood, just when I wiped. Went away right after. then yesterday it was alternating between thick yellow and yellow/green (like nose boogers, same texture and everything), and thin, but the primary color was yellow. Late last night I went to the bathroom and when I wiped, again there was a little brown blood in the discharge...
I've been on the pill for 5 years, I'm a nazi about taking it on time every day. This doesn't feel the exact same as prior yeast infections, but there is a little light burning/itching present. I'm on day 9 of my new birth control pack (Cyclessa, I've been taking for about 3 years), meaning I started my period about 13 days ago and that was all normal. We did have sex the day my period was over, but I just took my first active pill...
I don't know, my head is swimming. I've been under an intense amount of stress, my boyfriend of 5 years and I broke up about a month ago, I'm attempting to change jobs/get a promotion, I've started smoking (I know, I know, bad me) and now I'm panicking about possible pregnancy/sti's...
I've never had this sort of abnormal discharge before... it gets thick like this before my period usually, but I don't start that for 2 weeks. I hesitate to call it "bleeding" because it's not -ing. It's just there.
Today I see no blood (yet).
Can someone shed some light on what is happening? I'm attempting to make an appt. with my gyno, but it's the weekend and no one's available.
Thanks everyone!

Hi fannypakes welcome!
I agree with xploziv1. It sounds to me as though you may have an infection, possibly Bacterial Vaginosis. You should see your doctor for a proper diagnosis so you can use the proper medicine to treat the problem. For more about Bacterial Vaginosis, see: http://womenshealth.gov/faq/stdbv.htm I imagine you already know, but since you are on BCPs you are increasing your chances of serious side effects by starting to smoke, so you would be doing yourself a huge favor if you would stop.
Thanks for stopping by to post. If you have more questions, please ask. Good luck on your promotion! Let us know what your doctor says and how you’re doing, ok?
Good luck,
Jill
I agree with the other girls....the change in your discharge could be related to a bacterial infection.
hey, its fannypakes (with a new name)
you guys are great, thanks for your quick responses!
i have an appointment on wednesday. im actually going to be late to work because of it, but i'm thinking this is a little more important.
and as an fyi, i did discover a little tear in an external hemerrhoid i have... maybe that's causing the blood??
(yeah, too much info, sorry)
just a thought... im going anyway tho, ill keep you posted.
Hi p1980, welcome back!
Yep, the external hemorrhoid may be the source of the blood. It's good that you are to see your doctor on Wed. the reason for your yellow/green vaginal discharge and burning need to be diagnosed. Thanks for the update. Let us know what your doctor says, ok?
Good luck,
Jill
