What do you mean by horrible discharge? Women do have vaginal discharge and it varies depending on what part of your cycle your in, some women have more, some women have less, it all depends on your body. It can also change throughout your life. The vagina is self-cleansing, discharge helps keep the vagina healthy and maintaining the proper PH.

vaginal discharge is totally normal. some women have more than others, but it is totally normal.

i know that before i had kids i would get VERY wet. i was always a little, but when i was aroused it was awful. i had a boyfriend nick-name me "puddles" because that is literally how the bed would be, and no, it wasnt squirting.

it doesnt happen so much now that i have had kids though.

i wouldnt worry about it. trust me, as far as most guys are concerned, they would rather have you more wet than not wet enough.

If you have checked with your doctor and you don't have any infections of odors, I wouldn't worry about it too much. It varies form woman to woman and from time to time throughout life. It will likely change throughout your cycle as well. You may find that it heaviest mid cycle. You mentioned that you find it dirty? Is there a particular reason you feel that it's dirty? Is it just the feeling of being a little wet? If that is the situation, perhaps wearing a pantiliner would make you more comfortable. And I would agree that most men would prefer a woman to be too wet than not wet enough.

I wear pantyliners. And the feeling dirty part is more mental than physical. the discharge does range color and consistancey. Like some months I amy not have that much, but those are months that i am feeling pretty good. (I have sone health issues that make me feel tired and just all over "blah" alot) But when I'm haveing a bad month it can be anywhere from milky, to think and yellow like snot?!? its so gross. i hate it!!! I have had it since I was 13 and feel like I'm gross and nasty no matter how much I wash down there. If this is my "normal".... why do I have to be the one to have this?? ugh!! I'm already a freak with my health and have been bullied and beaten down forever cause of my body when I was growing up. Like my cloths and hair were dirty, I smelled funny. I had a horrible child hood at home.
Now that I'm grown...I'm so feaked out by this cause I feel nasty. I can't believe that this is supposed to be normal??

Well, let me just share what happened with me...... my husband and I conceived one child naturally, but to get pregnant with the second child, I went through a lot of infertiity treatment. When you describe the "snotty-like" discharge, that is when your body is ready to conceive, and is a signal to have sex if you are trying to conceive. It's not gross, and is nothing to be embarrassed about. Women have different amounts of discharge, and that's just the way we were made. It's nothing to be ashamed or embarrassed about. Good luck to you!!

a lot of what you are describing is how your discharge will change according to your ovulation cycle. the more snot like discharge you are describing is known as "egg-white" discharge. it is released when you are at your most fertile time and has the best PH balance for sperm to enter and fertilize your egg.

Hi there.I just wanted to offer a bit of support on this issue. Vaginal discharge is usually completely normal, and if your doctor has ruled out infection, it's very likely that what you experience is also completely normal. The vaginal glands and the cervix produce mucous, and that, along with dead cells, are what is lost from the vagina in the form of a discharge. The colour can range from clear to a kind of yellow, and thin and watery to thick and sticky depending on where you are in your menstrual cycle and how hospitable an environment (for potential fertilization) your body is trying to create. It can be odourless or can have a mild scent which can smell slightly astringent, like bleach or even like blood in the days before you menstruate. The "fishy" scent that some people seem to believe women's genitals secrete is actually, more often than not, due to the presence of semen or a lack of attention to hygiene over a significant period of time. Women who attempt to clean away their natural secretions by vigorous washing or douching are likely to cause themselves problems with candida, as the lactobacilli which help maintain the PH of the vagina are disturbed or destroyed by this.

The attitude of your mother and grandmother comes from a very old way of thinking which is sadly more common than we realise. Some people believe it stems back from times when girls were married directly at the instance of their first period, as they were then fertile and could bear children. Therefore discharge and bleeding were seen in sexually active women almost exclusively. In some families, the attitude has simply been passed down.

I would suggest that you have nothing to be worried about and certainly nothing to be ashamed of, but do revisit your GP if you're feeling anxious and explain it to them.

This is not something to be embarrassed about. I personally find it a turn on when a woman is that wet.
