Okay , so I've made multiple posts here about yellow discharge and what could be the cause. I am free of STDs, got checked for BV and Trich yesterday, apparently am negative for both.

Since then, I had been putting toilet paper down in my underwear to track the coloring on my discharge . It always appeared yellow for almost 2 months now.

Since finding out I'm free of BV and Trich (assuming the test was accurate),
I noticed yellow discharge again this morning. Instead, I did something i haven't done before - i wiped the discharge off of the toilet paper with my finger to see what it would look like.

It was white and clear on my finger .. but yellow on the toilet paper?! And I was wondering why this is? Does all 'normal' discharge appear yellow on toilet paper? And white on your finger or elsewhere ?

And if its normal why does the discharge appear yellow on the toilet paper but white and clear on my finger?

If its not normal what could it be? I am going for a pap smear soon so they should be able to tell me more and thinking of getting checked for a yeast infection.

Although the discharge is thin, and smells musty, doesn't smell fishy. I don't get pain while urinating, and i don't itch in that area.

Thank you !

Occasional Yellow Discharge

It could just be normal discharge. The vagina is a moist self cleaning organ. Some women have more discharge than others and at certain times, you may have more discharge that at others. If you have been to a gynecologist and they tested you for STD's and infections, I'm sure they would have told you if it was yeast. Yeast is thick cottage cheese like discharge that is easy to see with a pelvic exam. If you have no itching or burning, it might just be your hormones making the vagina kick out a little more drainage or if you are having sex frequently then it may just be your vagina cleansing itself. I have seen that sometimes my discharge looks white but yellowish on toilet paper. Remember that toilet paper is white, white. Something beige or cream colored may look white until you hold a piece of white paper to it. It sounds to me like it is just normal discharge. Dont worry about it. If you need to, wear a panty liner.

Thank you .
I went to a walk in clinic so they didn't examine me , they just took a swab of discharge and put it under the microscope . So im hoping they had enough discharge to show whether i had BV or not .They said I was negative for it but i don't know how accurate those tests are .

And I haven't had sex in 8 months so it can't be from sex .
So I possibly just thought it was yellow because thats when i started using toilet paper as padding .
Hopefully its just the toilet paper making it look yellow !

Hopefully my pap smear can tell me if its something else ! And its not like cottage cheese , just thin and yellow looking on toilet paper .
And the only thing that bothers me is i don't remember having discharge constantly daily before . And I have discharge everyday now .

If they looked under the microscope they would have seen if there was any bacterias or yeasts. The amount of discharge can change from time to time in your life.

Normal Yellow Discharge After Period

Missed Period And Yellow Discharge

I have actually had questions with this and went to see my Doctor. Everything checked out normal but small elevated signs of Bacterial Vaginosis. My doctor said it should go away within time and it did. Although it went away the discharge never changed into white. But its true, your discharge isn't white as paper, It'll be a beige maybe even slight yellow. If your worried that you may have something check the other symptoms like smelly odors, etc. And it has to be a foul odor not cake smelling, dough smelling kinda thing. I've noticed your discharge changes its odor depending on your eating habits. I was eating large amounts of cinammon one time for a few weeks and noticed it started smelling like cinammon, haha. Very funny how our bodies change with our diet. That doesn't work always get tested if it gets worse or you have any other symptoms arise.
