Lots of snot-like discharge & paper cuts before period,

For six months now I’ve been having large amounts of discharge. I don’t know if it just started or I’m just looking down there more often. Even before I got on birth control (a year ago) I noticed a big string of discharge when I wiped after using the bathroom. It looks like white snot in a big glob. If it’s in my underwear it turns yellow and flakes off when completely dried out. If it stays there it gets in the creases and dries enough to irritate the skin so when I clean it off I get a tear in the skin. I noticed that it increases a week before my period. It doesn’t itch, or smell bad (but it does smell like a bagel), or turn weird colors, and it doesn’t look like cottage cheese when coming out. It just looks like left over toilet paper when it starts to dry out. When I get ‘sexually excited’ it produces more and then completely disappears.

I just visited the gynecologist two weeks ago and the tests came back negative and she said nothing was wrong but my mother says it sounds like a yeast infection. I have taken the cream medication three times before and nothing helped. I am sexually active but have not had sex for three months now. Both he and I have been tested and we’re clean. I'm on the pill and he uses condoms and the pull out method.

It’s a bit embarrassing to always have this coming out and changing underwear all the time. Is this just my normal discharge or is it a yeast infection? Or something worse?

I hope I gave enough information! Please help!
