Woman have discharge throughout their cycles, and the consistency can change (depending on how close you are to your period), and this can be normal.
What indicates either an infection or an STD is that the discharge has a bad odor, and needs to be medically evaluated by a doctor.
Most STDs are asymptomatic, meaning, there are typically no symptoms...so the bad smell and discharge that is out-of-the-ordinary for you may be more indicative of an infection. Vaginal infections are very common, and easily treated with some medicine. Don't be embarrassed to go to the doctor or nearby clinic...it's important to have this diagnosed because it can become worse over time.
