Stringy vaginal discharge. On the pill. What could it be?

[Pup124]

Recently I have been having clear -sometimes slightly white- very stringy discharge. I thought it was thrush at first so took medication for it but it hasn't gone away. Then last night after sex there was a pink blood-like stain on the sheets, I don't know If the two could possibly be linked.

I'm on the pill and haven't had a break since November (I planned to have my next break this month). This discharge or pinky blood like stain has never happened before! Could my pill be losing its effect and I'm ovulating or is it something else? I plan to make an appointment with my GP as soon as possible - cant until Monday! But would like some advice on what it could be or what to do please!

Hi, I think too that this can be normal.  I would talk to your doctor about it as it is a sign women often look for when they are ovulating.  good luck

Hello,
This can be breakthrough spotting occurring due to non stop taking of pills. It should become better but if it persists then you may need to get your hormonal status checked from a gynecologist.

It is very difficult to precisely confirm a diagnosis without examination and investigations and the answer is based on the medical information provided. For exact diagnosis, you are requested to consult your doctor. I sincerely hope that helps. Take care and please do keep me posted on how you are doing.
