this is what i found on a website...see if this helps you at all its all about diffrent kinds of discharge....
White: Thick, white discharge is common at the beginning and end of your cycle. Normal white discharge is not accompanied by itching. If itching is present, thick white discharge can indicate a yeast infection.
Clear and stretchy: This is "fertile" mucous and means you are ovulating.
Clear and watery: This occurs at different times of your cycle and can be particularly heavy after exercising.
Yellow or Green: May indicate an infection, especially if thick or clumpy like cottage cheese or has a foul odor.
Brown: May happen right after periods, and is just "cleaning out" your vagina. Old blood looks brown.
Spotting Blood/Brown Discharge: This may occur when you are ovulating/mid-cycle. Sometimes early in pregnancy you may have spotting or a brownish discharge at the time your period would normally come. If you have spotting at the time of your normal period rather than your usual amount of flow, and you have had sex without using birth control, you should check a pregnancy test.
Is this normal?
We receive many questions about vaginal discharge through our "Ask the Expert" section. Below physician assistant Steven Johnson, explains what is normal and when to see a health care provider.
One of the challenges to answering questions sent into a health care Web site is making sure that the person asking the question seeks the advice and care from her doctor when appropriate. There is often information NOT given that can really change the answer.
For instance:
How old are you (really)?
Are you on medications or do you take herbs or vitamins?
Do you have pain or itching?
Are you pregnant?
Do you have other health problems (like diabetes)?
An important question is sexual activity. Sometimes it isn't accurate to simply say yes or no. Symptoms can depend on the number of sexual partners, kind of sexual partners, birth control, birth control failure, kind of sex you are having and if abuse is involved. I think you can see, it can get pretty complicated to get all the information needed to give the best answer possible.
With that said, here is my best answer to the common question of vaginal discharge.
A normal vaginal discharge consists of about a teaspoon (4 ML) a day that is white or transparent, thick to thin, and odorless. This is formed by the normal bacteria and fluids the vaginal cells put off. The discharge can be more noticeable at different times of the month depending on ovulation, menstrual flow, sexual activity and birth control.
It is not uncommon for the normal discharge to be dark, brown or discolored a day or two following the menstrual period.
If you are having ANY of the symptoms below SEE YOUR HEALTH CARE PROVIDER.
Pain
Itching
Discomfort
Rash or sores alone or with a vaginal discharge

Okay breathe is the first thing you need to do, Second thing you need to do is go to the doctor to see if you have a STD, Yeast Infection, Bladder infection, or if you are just Allergic to something that cause the odor and discharge. But most important if you are Sexually active you need to see a doctor even if you are using a condom or not it is your life so live it well and make should that you take care of you because no one else will. And if you are sexually active please tell your parents so that they can help you before it is to late. Because if it is a STD you can get really sick and if its just a bladder infection or allergy infection its important that you know what it is so that you can be okay, and get better.

If the discharge is a creamy texture and is accompanied by itching, it's a yeast infection. This can be treated with over-the-counter products available at any pharmacy. A strong odor indicates some other type of infection, possibly bacterial vaginosis, and for that you'll need to be treated by a doctor.

Vaginal discharge occurs mainly due to the following causes.
(1) Trichomoniasis (STD) Incubation Period: If symptoms appear, it usually takes from 3 to 28 days for them to develop. A treatable bacterial infection of male urethra & female pelvis. A watery, greyish, yellowish, or greenish bubbly discharge (may become thicker)
An unpleasant odor.
Pain and itching when urinating.
Most apparent after your period.
(2) Yeast Infection- A treatable fungal infection of the vagina. White cottage cheese-like thick discharge, but no strong odor.
Swelling and pain around vulva.
Intense itching and burning.
Painful sexual intercourse.
(3) Bacterial Vaginosis- Incubation period: Anywhere from 12 hours to five days. Vaginal infection. Fluids may be foamy or frothy (heavier than usual)
A white, gray or yellowish vaginal discharge.
A fishy odor that is strongest after sex or after washing with soap.

sounds like bacterial vaginosis. you will need metrogel. Go see the doctor to be sure. Its not an std.
DO NOT DOUCHE. If you have any type of infection INCLUDING bacterial vaginosis and you douche you could spread the infection to your uterus and cause Pelvic Inflammatory Disease. It can cause infertility. Douching has been linked to all sorts of vaginal infections. Your gynecologist will advise you not to use feminine sprays and douches. The ph in your vagina is very delicate.
