discharge during (non)fertile days

[citizengwen.livejournal.com]

I have been on birth control for 4-5 years. my cycle is very predictable. I know i'm not ovulating, but during my green "fertile" days (according to cyclespage.com) i still get the white discharge. it's been like this as long as i can remember, with only recently (about a year or so) connecting it to my fertile days per the calendar.

now, i always thought that i was still going through the process, though not actually releasing the egg. (i think i'm wrong, now.) google is only telling me that BC pills are stopping ovulation and you may experience discharge. but this discharge is ALWAYS on my green fertile days.

So i'm asking if there's a connection, since i am on BC and it would be normal if i wasn't.

part two:
i use the nuva ring for 4 weeks at time and this month i had this discharge twice. i only noticed because i thought the process was happening earlier than usual, but today i noticed it happening again (my green days start today). there's nothing odd about it besides that, so i don't believe it to be anything worrisome. I asked if this "fake ovulation" thingy happens twice in a month when you do it for 4 weeks but am learning that maybe i'm alone in my BC fertility discharge.

any thoughts?

I always have discharge. I think it's just a normal part of having a vagina.

i'm sure, but i'm curious about the connection to that certain time of month.

I have been wondering the same thing. I have been on the same kind of BC since I was 15 or 16(I am 22 now) and I always noticed the egg white discharge every now and then but haven't paid attention to what time of the month it was. The past 2 months I have noticed it ALOT, I didn't get my period a month and a half ago(when I was supposed to) because I was under a lot of stress but I just finished my period last week and I have noticed the discharge again. Is it normal to have the egg whitey stuff while you are on the pill?? It kind of freaks me out.

i think the discharge is normal anytime, with or without the pill. i'm just curious about the connection.

i've always had a discharge, and I started on BC when I was 16. Ever since I hit puberty I've always had that white discharge. I just figured it was normal, b/c my friends have had it too. I don't think it's abnormal to have discharge all month long, but who knows. ask your gyno about the connection, i'm sure they would know
