Let's talk discharge!

meladoriestar · December 2014

So... I'm having serious issues with my discharge and figuring out what's normal. Google is no help. The doctors have been reassuring (I have a LOT of thin, wet discharge that soaks through my undies- scans and swabs confirm it's not amniotic fluid) but I have a new issue that came up just now.

I just had a growth ultrasound this morning and everything looked perfect. They measured my fluid and it was good (no swab test) and the placenta and baby were looking good. I just peed and my liner is covered in a brownish discharge. It's not at all similar to spotting and I don't think its blood. It seems to be just regular discharge but a strange color. I'm honestly not too freaked out because of today's appointment but I figured I would see what everyone else is dealing with.

So what kind of discharge are you all experiencing? I remember from the TMI thread that a lot of us are extra moist these days.

A.) Yay!!! For a great growth ultrasound.

B.) You had to throw the word moist in there didn't you? Anywho

my discharge is clear and typically unscented, enough that I change my liner 2-3 times a day.

C.) I hope that your discharge is nothing and you can go back to being your normal, moist self.

I am suffering with it to and after using the bathroom and stand up some oozes out...ew I know...

Mine is not so 'watery' but slightly thicker and clear to creamy...but it's been the same since it started months ago. Maybe see what happens tomorrow and if still brownish call the dr. Do you leave urine at each appointment? They usually check for uti's I think...

Mine's thin and watery, mostly clear but has a beige-ish hue to it occasionally. Smells foreign to me but not horrible. I do change my panty liner twice to 3x a day.

When I had brownish discharge it was old blood- and it wasn't always super brown- varied from a light tan to downright brown. My OB told me repeatedly that as long as it wasn't puddles of brown or red/pink then I'm fine. That 50% more blood in our bodies has a way of leaking!

ngolimento · December 2014

Yeah old blood can come in a weird rainbow of browns. When I had bleeding earlier, I had anything from tan to beige to legit old blood brown.

Skrittens · December 2014

Mine is thin and watery and smells like pretzels. And sometimes it looks a little light brown or slightly pink - but never dark so I haven't worried about it yet.

Mine is generally thin, clear and watery. Except for overnight, when it's yellow-ish, due to the progesterone suppositories.

Earlier today, I could swear it smelled...minty? Okie dokie, then!

I get this all the time. I wear panty liners daily.

chaysefaith · December 2014

I would still describe mine as egg white. And in outrageous amounts. And disgusting enough that I feel the need to shower midway through the day. Thank God I work at home, I take many a lunch break showers.

ruemorgan · December 2014

Mine is always white, too. And the thickness is never the same.

Glad to see @chaysefaith‌ response, I wasnt worried but I was like "....wait a minute, am I the only one with white discharge?"

I'm in the thin-watery sometimes a little egg white-ish camp. BUT I have noticed if I don't change my pantiliner mid day there is definitely a beige-ish hue on the liner when I get home from work.

Does anyone remember someone mentioning last week in the TMI thread about smelling like bread? Well I now know what that is like too....

lanax24 · December 2014

I'm sometimes thin and watery, sometimes thick and white and mine too dries a beige colour.
OP did they have to do an internal exam because I know that can cause bleeding at this stage of pregnancy.

Mine is usually whitish clearish and doesn't smell like much. So far it's pretty thin, that will change any day I'm sure. But when I wipe after peeing I get a dark yellow stain on the tp. It's been happening since I first got KU and doesn't seem to be a problem, it's just unnerving. And everything smells sort of yeasty but I don't have a yeast infection. Maybe it's because I'm "baking" a baby. Ba-dum-cha

nannabee21 · December 2014

@Whitfry‌ I see what you did there..

Mine is white or clear and is the consistency of snot. It's pretty gross feeling. In first tri someone referred to it as "twat snot" and it's been true to that name ever since.

kaydedid · December 2014

I had some brownish - colored discharge earlier, which was scary until the doc said the brown came from bleeding hemorrhoids-dunno if you have any. Tears in the perineum from a really big BM can create small amounts of blood too.

akj166 · December 2014

Mine is thin and watery, no smell or color. I do look at the tp everytime I wipe though in fear of blood.

stine28 · December 2014

Mine's whitish-yellow and varies from thick & runny to thin little splooshes that catch me by surprise. I have so far refrained from using pantyliners but it's starting to get gross enough that I'm gonna have to pick up the habit.

Mine is a bit thicker and is whitish, but there is a lot of it. I have to change my liner every time I go to pee. I definitely have to shower every day or things get gross up in thurrr.

I did get some redish/brownish stains last week and freaked out until I realized it was because I cut myself shaving (awesome). Might be time to go get a wax. I can't see anything.

I just noticed I can't see my area anymore!!! Waaaaahhh!!! I want to get a wax but never have. Trying to decide if I should really do that now because my skin is super sensitive now. Sorry @meladoriestar‌ I will now post about my discharge.

Lovebeingamomny · December 2014

So I've been having whitish sometimes yellow discharge for a while now. Sometimes a lot and sometimes hardly any. I've never had any brown that I could tell. And I need to start wearing liners I think. Anyone have any they really like? I have the always ones that are individually wrapped and they're so thin and bunch up so easy. Not really a fan.

My FIL and BIL asked my H what I wanted for Christmas. I told him to tell them I want gift cards to Ulta. I never, ever, ever shop there so he was like "for what?"........so I can get my vagina waxed?

drudolph11 · December 2014

I am having the brownish discharge too buti honestly think it's just cuz i changed brands of liners which kinda sounds ridiculous lol. I went from wearing regular liners to incontinence liners...because pee lol anyway with my regular liners it was a little brown and more with these it's like darker brown but i hada growth us yesterday as well and everything was gravy so I'm not too worried but thought it was weird. Maybe my liner theory is totally wrong and it has legit gotten darker but it happened righy when i switched. But no smell either just the occasional "peeing myself issue. I dunno if this had helped any just wanted to relate .

rfarquhar32 · December 2014

Same here....yuck.... going thru about 3 pantyliners a day. My OB nurse did tell me to try going ummm commando for a while....take panies off...lay down and let it air out....it does help with all the icky moisture feeling.

kellbell1982 · December 2014

I've been having that same watery, clear discharge that soaks through my panty liner. I thought my water broke a couple times it was that bad, glad to see I'm not the only one
