I really don't want any immature answers, please take that somewhere else. I have had vaginal discharge multiple times daily since I was 12. I started my period at 13 or 14. It has an odor to it [not fishy] and it's a light yellow color, kind of thick. I already took over the counter yeast infection med's and that wasn't it... I went to the doctor not too long ago to see if I had endometrosis, which i didn't, and he didn't mention anything else. Is this normal?

Discharge is perfectly normal. As long as it doens't itch, smell bad or change colour then you are perfectly fine. The amount of discharge though usually changes during the month.. i usually get more just before my period.
Discharge is the vaginas way of cleaning itself. Don't worry you are fine

Endometriosis has nothing to do with discharge; it's where the tissue inside the uterus somehow ends up outside the uterus, where it grows and recedes in relation to hormones, often causing severe pain.
Vaginal discharge isn't completely odor-free (nothing natural in life is completely odor-free). If it smells like fish, it could be some sort of infection (not sure if you are sexually active or not). Otherwise, vaginal discharge is the way the body cleanses the vagina. The color and thickness change based on where you are in your cycle.
If you're worried about it, see a doc. Otherwise, my guess is it's normal vaginal discharge that everyone has.

Vaginal discharge does thicken up around ovulation, but it's usually only for a few days. If it's been consistently like that you may want to check with a doctor. Mention it specifically, and ask what it could be.

I don't know your age or if you're sexually active but if you are you should get checked for stds some can be asymptomatic also see another doctor get a second opinion maybe see a female doctor it may just be your natural vaginal discharge/lubrication and may vary on where you are in your menstrual cycle

If it's mucous-like and relatively clear with no unusal odor, then it is normal and should get heavier as you move closer to your period.
People who practice the rhythm method use the density and elasticity of the discharge as a way to tell when the woman is ovulating and more likely to conceive.

Vaginal discharge is normal and varies with each female. Here is a site that explains vaginal discharge and the normalities and abnormalities. I hope this helps.

Discharge is normal. Have your Dr. check for std's if you're worried or at risk, but it's normal. Unless you have pain or itching associated with it, I would assume what you're experiencing is normal discharge. Wear a pantyliner if you want, to keep everything dry and fresh down there.

Its normal! All women have it. It helps you when you want to get pregnant. It is not discharge either. it is cervical mucus. It helps sperm travel inside you when you want to get pregnant.

if the doctor doesnt suspect anything than i say its normal, if the discharge is offensive, but if you're the only one that can smell it than your vagina is probably cleaning itself..... you are not the only one ...
