 Posted: 03/12/06 - 04:47 Post subject: Vaginal discharge, no odor, with cramping |
  |
|
| During the last week or so I have been noticing an increased amount of vaginal discharge. It is white, gooey, has no odor, and is not cottage-cheese like. Also, during the same time I have also been experiencing cramping in my abdomen. I'm on birth control, but have been for 4 years and never have experienced this. I had a pap smear a month ago and everything was normal. I am sexually active with my boyfriend. We do not use condoms but we both were tested for STD's before we started sleeping together (about a month ago) and everything was good. Is it possible that I'm pregnant even though I'm on birth control (the pill)? If not please help! |

I don’t think that you are pregnant if you used it as directed. After all, birth controls do three things to prevent pregnancy and if used as directly, chances are minimal. Birth control pills prevent ovulation, if ovulation happens, they prevent fertilized egg from implanting into the uterus and they also prevent sperm from entering the uterus.
Did it happen that you miss a pill or you have been taking it regularly? Is your period late? Increased vaginal discharge happens when we are ovulating as well as cramping but you can also experience excessive vaginal discharge when you are having too much sex. It happens to me often that I have discharge days after having frequent sex with my boyfriend.
When are you about to get your period? |

Thanks for the help. I have been taking my birth control regularly. Although some nights I take it much later than others. I have been taking it since I was 16 (I'm 20 now) and I have never had this much discharge. My boyfriend and I have a very active sex life. So I guess that could be a cause. But I still don't know if the cramping is associated with it or not because I have never experience that mid-cycle. I'm not due for my period for another two weeks.
How likely are my chances of getting pregnant while on the pill? One of my sister's friends has. Yes, I am on the pill, but if we were to get pregnant we would welcome it with open arms. We just want it to happen when it happens... |

The chances are minimal to get pregnant on the pill. It is said that they are 99% effective and I already wrote you about what they do to prevent pregnancy. If you don’t want to get pregnant, then you should take the pills at the same time every day.
Since you are two weeks apart from your period, this is exactly the time of your ovulation when estrogen is producing a lot of mucus and when women usually experience a lot of discharge. This is also the time when cramping may be experienced, so I think everything’s ok. |
