Ok, so perhaps you ladies can give me some insight. Just so you know, I'm going to see my gyno on Friday about this, but I'm a worrywart and I'm curious, and I thought perhaps you would know.
Recently (as in my past 2 cycles) I've noticed that my normal discharge has changed somewhat. The color and consistency (clear-to-slightly yellowish and with a thick mucuslike consistency) have stayed basically the same, although sometimes I get sort of chunks of discharge. The smell of my discharge has not changed either. However, I've noticed that now my discharge leaves a sort of crust (gross, I know) in my underwear and it also makes my pubic hair stick together sometimes. There is no pain, itching or discomfort, simply a change in my discharge. I am sexually active, I'm on the pill, and I use condoms, but I'm worried this could be an STD. Anyone know what this could be? Any ideas would be appreciated.
