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?

Hello! I'm 24 and just last night I saw milky (smelly) discharge leaking from my vagina. Here's a little info; had my period two weeks ago, had sex with my boyfriend of nine months four days ago, had my irregular period two days ago, and had milky discharge last night. Never experienced anything like this so i'm very concerned

It is normal to have different types of discharge ad different times of the month. If the discharge is "foul smelling," you should call your doctor--you could have an infection that needs to be treated, especially if you have any other symptoms like cramping, pain or burning when urinating, etc.
Good luck. Let us know what you find out and how you are doing.

I am 19 yrs old and have a milky white discharge from out of no where . I am sexually active. It does not burn or itch. Sometimes its a lot and sometimes its less. I have been going to the bathroom more and more. I was wondering if anyone has any suggestions on what this may be

All women have vaginal discharge called "cervical mucus". The consistent and amount change day-to-day, depending on what phase of your cycle you are in.

I HAVE A CONCERN OF MY OWN. I HAVE A MILKY DISCHARGE IT DOES NOT ITCH OR BURN AND I AM NOT HAVING ANY ABDOMINAL PAIN. IT IS NOT A HEAVY FLOW BUT I CAN FEEL THE DAMPNESS. I WENT TO THE BATHROOM AND NOTICED LIKE TWO SMALL WHITE DROPLETS IT THE TOILET. THAT ONLY HAPPENED ONCE. I AM VERY PRONE TO BACTERIA INFECTIONS (FOR WHAT REASON? I WISH I KNEW) CAN SOMEONE GIVE ME SOME INPUT ON WHAT THIS COULD BE?

I have done online searches for years due to the same problem. I have to wear a pad almost every day (sometimes a regular pad, not just a mini) because I think it's unhealthy to wear a tampon 24/7 every single day of the year. It cuts into my sex life because I seem very aroused but actually it is TOO wet and slippery. There is no smell, or it smells like normal discharge. The doctors never believe how much it is. They think it is an infection, so I get tested and it is NEVER the answer. I have changed my diet and hardly ever drink alcohol, milk, or refined sugars. No change. In fact it has gotten worse over the years. I have fibroids so the best the doctor can do is say, maybe my uterus is enlarged. Very frustrating and almost to the point of going crazy over this by this point! I wish I could find something that could help.... may try holistic remedies for balancing my hormones?

I am a 14 year old girl. I am sexually active. But I usually have discharge and its like I'm on my period because there's so much. But anyways I just started having this milky like substance coming out. I've never had a yeast infection or anything but its weird. Any answers?

This could be many things like some of the other women had mentioned, like infections. But no one has mentioned STD's. I too became sexually active at 14. When I was 15 my boyfriend gave me chlymidia. I got this discahrge and thats what made me go to the doctor. Yes it is embarrassing but must be taken care of asap. Antibiotics will cure. Maybe you should see a doctor to be safe =)
