Sometimes I get a clearish white discharge after my period. I think it's supposed to be your body "cleaning" itself. Three weeks seems like a long time, though. You probably want to talk to your doctor. Chances are it's nothing serious, since it doesn't smell and is just white, but it sounds really inconvenient.

Its not a yeast infection. Its something your body naturally does to clean itsself and sometimes a changed ph balance makes it worse. Try a feminine hygeine wash such as femisil, that should make it less. But it seems that as there is no smell or itch everything is normal.

have you had your period yet? if you haven't, this discharge is totally normal. it is just your vagina prepareing itself for it's first period. it has to shed some of its walls in order for the new skin to grow. it is the first step before your period. you will get it probably between 6 months to a year before you get your period. if you want to, you can wear a pad to soak up some of the excess. but NEVER EVER wear a tampon unless you are menstuating. that can cause an infection, or TSS. TSS is a extremely bad infection that can kill you if not treated.
dont' worry. it is completely normal. think of it as your pre-period.

Could be bacterial vaginosis.
