Slightly Yellow Discharge/ Swollen Labia/BV?

Okay, heres my story. I had unprotected sex with a male partner. A couple days later, I noticed some minor itchy/irritation of the vulva. I went to my health center, they screened me for gonnohrea/chlaymdia/trich, etc. All came back negatitive. They said I had a yeast infection. Used the treatment they gave me, and it did not work. I then began to notice a slight yellow thin snotty looking discharge. I went to Planned Parenthood because I thought maybe they missed something. Had all the same screening done, and they said that I def had BV infection, and that all the std tests once again came back negatitive. They gave me flagyl, which seemed to clear up the discharge, but the vulva was still swollen/ irritated. Then I notice the discharge again, this time it is much heaver, and constant. I went to my obgyn, same std tests, neg results. Says she sees no sign of infection, sends me off like nothing is wrong. I have been dealing with this for months, is it possible that I do have an std infection and that these tests are not very accurate? If i did have trich, the flagyl should have cleared it up, and can BV cause this vulva irritation? They have even began to tell me I might have vulvodynia, this seems ridiculous, i have never had a problem before, and discharge is not normally a symptom?

This is happening to me as well!
Me and my boyfriend had unprotected sex which is normal for us but the next day I noticed that I had heavy discharge. I always have a little discharge and it's usually clearish as this was but what was unusual was that the amount... I would sit on the toilet and it would spill out of me. Only once was it slightly "clumpy" and cottage cheese like. Maybe after 2 days of heavy, clearish discharge it started to turn yellowish/greenish and by now I've noticed a horrifying fishy smell that is very strong. It's almost been a week now but today I got a yeast infection kit but when I was reading the instructions it clearly said "if yellow/green discharge of fowel "fishy" Oder please seek medical attention"
Im scared. Not only is all this happening but I'm itchy, and I have noticed bumps.
It's so uncomfortable. I don't know how to tell my boyfriend and my mom won't take me to the doctor or give me her insurance card. I'm 17

Someone please help me.

When I was younger I had so many UTIs. In my life I think I've had about 50. FIFTY.

I'm in college now and have been getting UTIs every month since May (it's now October). I don't get it. I've had a steady boyfriend for seven months and was taking birth control (Portia) regularly. Last month I had a terrible UTI and I decided to get a urologist. They did an ultrasound to make sure nothing was abnormal: results said I was fine. My next UTI I sent a culture: negative.

I thought I had a yeast infection because there was swelling, itching, and burning during urination. I was tested for STDs: negative. I tried treating myself for a yeast infection: Fail. The last three or four UTI "infections" I have been taking Trimeth Sulfa, which seems to work but the symptoms reoccur every time I have sex.

I've tried taking preventative pills: Fail. Just last week there has been serious swelling and (grossly) chunky yellowish discharge that is not normal for me. But everything has been coming back negative. What's wrong with me?

Hi, I am a 17 year old Female. I am currently Sexually active, andI have been since I was i believe 15. I stopped sex, after May on 2010, but then again picked it back up in January of this year. Me and my guy, isnt offically in a relationship, which means, I dont know who or what he's doing. But for a known fact, Im not doing anything with anybody but him. Well, Back to my story, me and him dont have sex on daily basis, but we do have sex like bi-weekly. And in the beginning he doesnt use a condom, right before he ejaculates, he puts the condom on, and we keep having sex until he cums again. So this past week, me and him had some relations, and like right after I went to the bathroom and was bleeding, only a bit. This didnt cause me any concern, because I did that in the past before. But this time, a day later, I began to bleed uncontrolably, Thinking I had a miscarriage, because of all the pain I was enduring at the time. I hadnt had my period in like 1 month 1/2. So thats why I thought I had a miscarriage. i didnt want to tell my mom in fear of what she would have done to me, So i just brushed it off. three days later, I started to get this burning sensation, itchy, and a Yellow-ish green-ish discharge. Not knowing what it is, i didn some research, and i have not yt found a reliable source. I wont be turing 18 for another 3 months, and I dont want my mom finding out about this stuff. So If anyone can PLEASEEE HELP ME OUT, It will be greatly apprietiated:) Thank you. You can Email me at CherryCoke_09***@****

hello. Im almost 3 months pregnant and Ive been having a thicklight yellowish discharge. It smells awful to me and i hate being out when it starts to come out of my vagina because i can smell it thru my clothing! When i shower i can still smell it if i immediately wipe off and smell the tissue. Ive been to the Er twice since being pregnant because and theyve done blood tests and urine test and said nuthing was wrong. Went to my appointment last week and had my pap smear done. Called to check on the results nervously, but they said everything cme back negative. I have mo idea what is wrong with me and i am mostly concerned that this can be affecting my unborn baby. Is there a possibility i can have some type of std that they cant find, or is this normal or something for pregnancy. SUMONE PLEASE HELP ME BECAUSE I DO NOT WNT TO HARM MY BABY BECAUSE OF MISTAKES THESE DRS MIGHT BE MAKING THNKX A LOT
