ths is what i just found that relates to my case
Yellow or Green: May indicate an infection, especially if thick or clumpy like cottage cheese or has a foul odor.

You can have a yeast infection that doesn't itch or burn--I have. But to be safe, you should just go to the doctor. It's been happening for long enough that it would warrant a visit.

I have heard of yeast infections that have no burn or itch. If you let them sit this long you can make it worse on yourself. You may accidentally allow some of the fluids from the yeast infection get into your urethra and cause harm to your bladder or kidneys.
Be careful! If you don't have time now to see a doctor because of work or school call ahead and schedule an appointment and then ask your work or school and ask them for a day off so that you can have a personal problem settled. If your school secretary or your supervisor at work must have an explanation you can say " I need to see the doctor" then ask the doctor for an excuse not for work or school and have them sign it so you can bring it to your boss or teacher/secretary.
Now when you visit the doctor let him or her know how long this problem has been around so that they can do further tests if neccesary to save your cervics and vagina don't have a worse problem for you allowing it to sit this long. A yeast infection can turn into something very dangerous if you let it sit.
Until you see the doctor eat lots of yogurt everyday. Keep your vaginal walls clean. Keep loose clean dry underwear on and keep your vagina cool and dry.
Do not douche! I don't reccomend it because douching can worsen the problem. Douching is known to kill helpful vaginal bacterias that help keep your vagina clean and healthy.

Does it have an odor? I am assuming it doesn't otherwise you would have made time to see a doctor by now. I agree with the other poster about the vaginosis, but if you are sexually active, and this has been going on daily... Make time to go.. you can even go to a local planned parenthood where you can pay for the check up on a sliding scale, if money and opportunity are the reasons why you haven't been to the doctor...

Discharge is normal and the amount or consistency varies depending where you are in your cycle. Normal discharge is white/transparent, thick to thin, and odorless. It shouldn't be painful, greenish in color, or have an odor. You can check this website out and it may help you out. If it is something your still concerned about contact your doctor...it is what they are there for. http://www.pamf.org/teen/health/femalehealth/discharge.html

It may be Bacterial Vaginosis. You dont catch it or anything, its just due to the hormonal balance 'down there'. If you use soap, that can cause it, as can the washing powder you use to wash your clothes. If something interferes with the balance, it does that to flush whatever it is out. You may have to go to the doctors if it doesnt clear up by itself though, as it can be cured with 5 days' antibiotics. Overall its nothing to worry about, nothing serious, its just uncomfortable to you.
It does sound like it though, cos it feels nothing like Thrush. Hope you get rid of it soon!

yes it could be thrush. trush only irritates me when i have sex, otherwise i dont get the itch and burning feeling just the cottage cheese. But still you should get checked out just to be safe. I dont thin its chlamydia as this is usually yellow in colour not white. Hope this helps :o)

dont say you have no time for a doctor - make time - it could be a yeast infection, bacteria vaginosis, chlamydia or other infections that are out there. stop being embarassed and pay attention to your health, especially since its been that long

i don't think it is a yeast infection if it does not hurt when you go the toilet or itch. i would go and see my doctor if i was you just to make sure, cause if you have then they can treat it anyway.

Chlamydia causes a white discharge.
See a doctor. That's the only way you will know for sure.
