Hey VPers!
So a while ago I posted about how I was dealing with a long term YI/possibly BV at the same time. Well, I have some good news and bad news regarding the situation.
The good news is, I recently went to my gyno and she said I was fine. As a matter of fact, her exact words were, "there's nothing there. No yeast, no bacteria, no trich, nothing."
The bad news is, I still feel like there's something wrong with me!! I've been having this odd creamy/watery (not clumpy) white discharge nearly every day that sometimes just... bubbles out of me. It's definitely not odorless. The smell isn't awful, but I wouldn't really describe it as pleasant either. It's kind of... cheesy? I guess. But the smell keeps changing. This is the discharge that my gyno tested, so I'm hesitant to start treating it as if it were a YI/BV if there's truly nothing wrong with me.
I would chalk it up to me being stressed out/paranoid, but there's one other thing. I got my period the day after I went to the doctor, and it smelled the same as it has been-- like nothing, maybe a little acid-y. This is not my usual period blood scent, but it has been for the last few months while I had the YI. So I am not convinced that I am back to normal.
But the question is, what the heck is still going on with me? Has anyone dealt with anything like this before?
Edit: It also may be relevant that I haven't had PIV sex in fourteen days, and I am currently on the pill.

Previous commenters probably asked about diet and hydration, but if you haven't already tried drinking tons more water, and taking probiotics, it's worth considering.
Diet troubleshooting is a huge PITA, but can often reveal interesting correlations or consequences!
I'd definitely suggest more water.
