discharge, not YI

[autumneffie82.livejournal.com]

So I am new to this community and I need help!!!... it could get lengthy so the rest is behind cut

I've never really known a lot about the process of periods and all that fun stuff, I just know that it comes once a month, usually, and i'm never glad to see it, but relieved that its there if you will. Anyhow as I was reading on VP a while back that the stringy mostly clear discharge before your period meant that you are ovulating. I found that interesting, but my Q is this. I have this funky discharge ALL the time. Well not ALL the time, but more then a lot of the time. It isn't a YI as far as I can tell, although reading some of the comments on here have me a little worried since sometimes YI don't have a smell or the itchiness... Anyway, I guess I am just wondering if I am normal or a freak? I had my period last week, had sex on Tue of this week and noticed earlier this morning that I had a slimy mostly clear discharge. (for a lack of better word), its enough that my panties aren't saturated, but they are moist? Oh and I do have a "hood" piercing if that is important.  I am supposed to be having a visitor on monday and I would like to be "fresh" . Can some one please point me in the right direction?Type your cut contents here.

there is a smell, but not fowl, I don't really know how to explain it? I mean that's part of the reason I posted, the discharge it's there whatever as long as I have no itchiness I figured I was ok, but I want to be all fresh and all that jazz and I have read on here about douches and how they are bad for you just wanted to know if anyone has a trick they can share with me?

well there should be a smell no bodily fluid is odorless... As long as the smell isn't foul it is just your smell, it is normal, healthy, and well fresh. Vaginas are meant to smell like vaginas... They are not completely odorless and do not smell like flowers, no matter what the douche company commercials say to the contrary.

That having been said your diet can change the smell/taste of vaginal fluid, I hear that pineapple can have a pretty strong effect in sufficient quantity, (I don't know about that from personal experience as I'm allergic to pineapple but it is an example I hear used often).

Red meat, smoking, lots of refined sugar, and coffee can also have an effect on both men and women's sexual fluid taste. There's the joke "vegan boys taste better" for a reason. ;)
