  I've only have the pill version. Are you treating a bacterial infection? If so, many times antibiotics (I'm assuming that's what this is since I've actually never used it) can cause yeast infections that have chunky white discharge. I've had that as my only symptom without itching before.

  I've been on it before and I usually get yeast infections right after. Any time I've been put on it I immediately ask for a script for Diflucan since I know what will inevitably happen. Luckily, haven't had to take any antibiotics while pregnant so I'm not sure if Diflucan is okay or not.

  I took it when I had BV at 12 weeks and I had the same discharge. I assumed I had a YI (I ALWAYS get them after any kind of antibiotic), but I waited a few days to treat it, just to give my body a break from medication and it cleared up on it's on. My OB confirmed the next week that I didn't have a YI. He said it could have just been residual discharge after 5 days of treatment. I highly doubt it's eating away at your MP. 

  I thought the MP was a long shot but I've definitely never had this kind of discharge before so it freaked me out a little.

  I always get a YI right after taking it. My dr writes a script for diflucan at the same time.

  I think I'm going to give it a day then call. I hope it's not a YI but if it is it's just par for the course at this point. Pregnancy is glorious.
