Thread: Did I miss something? (discharge)

So, after my last period (almost two weeks ago), I noticed the discharge is different than it's...well always been, but not bad, just different.
It's always been gooey and kind of milky with a slight smell too it. Not unpleasant. Now it's thinner and kind of like elastic. The color is a little different too. It seems to be clearer and has no smell at all that my nose can pick up and I'm seeing less of it on my underwear everyday.
I've had a good number of infections throughout my life from abuse, and as a younger child poor hygiene habits. But I haven't had any infections for about 2 years and even before my last one it had been a few years since I had any. I've been looking up what's normal and abnormal, and I can't say that this seems to be classified as abnormal, but it's odd to me that it's changed so drastically so suddenly.
I feel silly for wondering, but could I have had a small infection just hanging out there that I never noticed and it's gone away and THIS is what's normal, or do changes like this happen all the time?
I don't use soaps that can irritate it, or anything really for that matter besides a good rinse everyday and a gentle scrub with mild body wash. My hygiene has improved immensely since I was 8 haha I promise you. I have a pretty good diet. I don't eat as much as I should I guess, but what I do eat is healthy. Usually just fruit (apples, oranges daily, kiwi), vegetables, bagels, cottage cheese and chicken. Recently I've started drinking 4 more glasses of water than I used to...8 glasses a day is tougher than I thought for some reason. I pretty much only drink water, sometimes a glass of lemonade. I don't drink milk because it upsets my stomach. I've started exercising more. Could that have anything to do with the change? I'm so confuuused
