Milky white vaginal discharge

Earlier today I had a clear discharge that just gushed out and this evening I open my legs and what looked like milk came out. I have never seen anything like it before. What does this mean? Am I pregnant? Am I ovulating? Or is this my vagina's way of cleaning itself? Neither discharge had a smell. My menstrual cycle was just last week and was cut short. I have also been having these short moments of feeling like I am going to start on my cycle as well. Any suggestions about what is going on with my body?

I'm not sure when I'm soposed to get my period because I stopped my Birth control and that tucks up you're cycle. I know vaginally discharge can be from many other things and I was asking if anyone knew when I should take it because of the cycle being affected by stopping my BC.

The discharge happens after you masturbate.

Once you miss a period, you can try a pregnancy test. If you take one before, it may be a waste of money. Vaginal discharge could mean many things so you should keep a close eye on it. Good luck and keep us posted.

I am seventeen years old and I've been having excessive milky white discharge to the point where its VERY knowticeable when my boyfriend and I have sex.
I have been pregnant twice this year and both were terminated. I have many other pregnancy symptoms including heavy breasts, recent weight gain, excessive urination, frequent headaches, constantly dizzy, back pain and my lower abdomen has been swollen but not painful.
I stopped my birth control pills about a month ago, and I feel pregnant. I had taken a pregnancy test this morning and it came out negitive, but I am not sure when I should be taking it due to the recent stop of birth control. I know the difference between ovulation and pregnancy discharge.
When should I be taking another test? How soon is too soon for it to show up on an at home pregnancy test?

On most websites its reccomended to take it 19 days after the intercourse but we have sex VERY frequently. Does anyone have any other advice ? I need to know as soon as possible because I am going to keep the baby and I want to start pre -Natal's to ensure the baby's health.

Thank you so much for you're time.

It could also be "Trick" a bacterial infection spread via sex.

I'm 19 and I've been having the same problem except it also come out when I'm on my menstrual cycle. It is thick milky like with no odor but it does itch every once in awhile. I been having bad lower abdomen pain and I also been feeling sick a lot lately. I took a pregnancy test and it was negative. Any answers??

It sounds to me like you might be pregnant... since you said your period was cut short, it could be implantation bleeding, and i had cramps and feeling like i was going to start my period before i found out i was pregnant... i would take a home pregnancy test.
