Its probably Egg White Consistency Cervical Mucus (EWCM) during ovulation. Read some info about it here http://www.fertilinet.com/Cervical%20Fluid%20and%20Fertility.htm and see if that sounds like what you're experiancing.
"How Long do you have it: Typically women in their mid twenties have it for approximately 5 days, by mid-thirties, only 1-2 days, but this is not the rule. Many women have several days of EWCM late into their thirties."
I know you said women only, but just to give you a guys perspective, I can honestly tell you there is a sub-concious or instinctual attraction to that type of fluid production, so there is nothing to be embarrassed about as far as guys go.

Vaginal discharge itself is normal but if the discharge is thick like cottage cheese then as one of the other posters said it could be a yeast infection. I would recommend getting in touch with your dr to have this look in to this before trying to do anything with self-treatment.

Sounds like a yeast infection to me. You can go to the doc's or the pharmacy and ask for the tablet that cures a yeast infection.

You need to go to a doctor! It could be type of infection and if it isn't treated, will only get worse and could cause all sorts of problems! Doctors deal with this type of thing all the time, so don't be embarresed or anything, it could be something very minor and easily treated, though the longer you leave it, the worse it could get!

Best thing you can do to put your mind at rest and to get the most accurate answer is get yourself along to your GP for a Pap Smear to be tested.
Go on look after yourself - you're worth it.

you could have an infection (not necessariliy an STI) but it will still need to be assessed by a doctor.
get it seen to soon, cause if its left it could cause bigger problems.
the sooner you no what it is, the sooner it can be treated

If it smells bad and its color is yellowish then it is infection and you need to go to your doctor.
