Normal Discharge??

First I want to say,what a fabulous site! This is my first post here, and I apologize if this subject seems gross. I just wondered if anyone else has this problem. Since having my son almost three years ago,I have experienced,what I have come to believe, a heavier than most women's discharge. It does not smell or itch,but does vary in its consistency (around my period it seems to 'thicken'). It has caused me to become quite self-conscience when it comes to sex with my husband. I just wondered how much discharge is normal and when you should see a doctor about it. The gyno did once mention that I had a 'fair amount of discharge' during an exam, but didn't indicate that he thought there might be a problem. Sorry to be so graphic in my first post, but this is really bothering me. Any suggestions?

Some women just have more discharge. It doesn't sound like it's anything you need to worry about. Especially if your doctor didn't say anything about it.

As far as your husband goes, he shouldn't be grossed out by it! If you need to, keep a towel handy to wipe away any excess.

And, your post was not graphic! It's our bodies. That's why we have boards like this. Us women need to get together and talk about these things!
