IS THIS NORMAL??

My discharge/cum is clear and gooey. I always thought this was how everyone's was until recently my boyfriend mentioned I was the first he ever felt that was gooey like that. Is this something that can be changed with my diet? What could be the cause?

Hi seydmri, welcome!

Your vaginal discharge will vary depending on where you are in your menstrual cycle. Even if you are on hormonal contraceptives (which may reduce vaginal discharge for some women) there is usually some change in you inter-menses discharge. A good article on vaginal discharge is: http://www.nlm.nih.gov/medlineplus/ency/article/003158.htm Clear and sticky sounds as though that could be normal to me. A very good book on the menstrual cycle is Toni Weschler’s Taking Charge of Your Fertility. That will tell you all about what goes on during your cycle and it is easy to read and understand.

Thanks for posting. If you have more questions we are right here so please ask. Let us know how you’re doing, ok?

Take care,
