In the last week I have had an unbelievable amount of discharge. I'm usually very dry to the point where KY lubrication is a part of our sexual life. I have had mild irritation and itching. I have a white discharge, at first it was really thick, now it's more like milk. I saw the Dr. yesterday, she says I'm not pregnant, dont have a yeast infection or BV. She thinks I'm ovulating (I'm also on the BC Patch). Personally I think she is crazy because I have never had discharge like this. Sex seems to irritate it causing more itching. What do I do? do I get a second opinion? What could this be symptoms of?? Anything? Or am I just crazy and worrying too much?

I certainly don't think you're crazy.

When you ovulate you do release a "mucus plug" which causes a more of a discharge. I used to not get the heavy discharge when my mucus plug was released but I do now and don't really remember when it all started. I wouldn't describe it as thick white then milky though. Of course were all different so yours may look like that. I would get a second opinion just to be sure. It never hurts to verify that is what it is plus the peace of mind is worth it.

i've been on the patch for lil over a year now. It works good and I have never had this problem. I thought the ovulating thing was a lil odd, but I guess you never know.
