Hello everyone, i just got off BC about 3 weeks ago, and i'm wondering if my hormones are affecting the discharge. I have been fine up untill 2 days ago, when I noticed nothing else but a strong odor more "sour" than I normally am, but that ended that day. Yesterday, no odor, but about 3 times through the day i got the feeling like suddenly I peed a little, and that would be followed by a tad bit of normal looking discharge. This morning, I had a lot of thick, yellow discharge, thicker than cottage cheese. But no itching or burning, no redness or inflamation...I'm gonna call my doc, but has anyone else had anything similar after getting off bc's ? I take such good care of myself, and I've never had a yeast infection! I know everyone must have one at least once in a lifetime, but I have no other symptoms except strange discharge. I haven't seen that for the rest of the day so far, just this morning.
Thanks for any suggestions!

Hi there,
Now you're off BCP, your body will be trying to sort out its natural hormones. As your body works towards ovulation, it will produce more cervical fluid, and it changes in consistency leading up to ovulation. Right at ovulation it because a thick eggwhite-like consistency. After ovulation it will decrease again.
What you are experiencing sounds normal, since the "sour" smell was only temporary, I don't think you have an infection.
