It's not exactly normal but it is possible.  So, your hormones levels change with your menstruation and that can cause yeast infections.  Some women get vaginal (and/or oral) yeast infections with each period. You should ask your doctor about it.  You could also consider eating yoghurt or taking an Acidophilus Bifidus Cassius suppliment.  Avoid foods containing yeast, too. Also, try not to get stressed as that won't help.  I hope things get sorted out for you.  You can email me if you like, through yahoo, if you need someone talk to.

The vaginal area has a balance of yeast and bacteria and a normal range of PH and if this gets thrown off track with too much you can get either Yeast Infections or Bacterial Vaginosis.  \n\nSome things that can cause a yeast infection are antibiotics, too much sugar in your diet, douching (DOUCHING is terrible for women - please don't do it!), sexual intercourse that does not have enough lubrication, wearing non-cotton panties or panties that are on for more than one day (eww!) etc...\n\nPlease eat your yogurt, take acidophulous pills and triple garlic pills - Garlic and Yeast don't get along in my experience.  \n\nRemember that if you are getting them constantly it could be 'hormones' from onset of puberty or menopause, diabetes or even HIV/AIDS.  Get an over the counter cream, if you are sure you have one, and if you can't get 'rid of it', see a doctor for other possible causes/treatment.

Glands inside your vagina and cervix make small amounts of fluid. This fluid flows out of the vagina each day, carrying out old cells that have lined the vagina. This is your body's way of keeping your vagina healthy and clean. The discharge is usually clear or milky and doesn't smell bad.\n\nThe colour and thickness may change with your menstrual cycle.  As long as the discharge is clear or milky and doesn't smell bad, it is normal.  Many girls first get this discharge in the weeks and months before their period starts for the first time.\n\nIf you notice a yellow, green or 'curdy'(think almost like cottage cheese) discharge, or if there is a strong smell, an infection of some sort may be happening.   You would then need to go to your doctor for medication to treat the infection.  \n\nThe link below talks about vaginal discharge, what is normal and what is not.

I agree with those who say it might be a yeast infection.  Easy to get even if you are single.  The stats I read said that 75% of American women will get one vaginal yeast infection (vaginitis) in their lifetime.\n\nEasy to treat.  Yeast loves sugar.  The more sugary the body (read as pre-diabetic, or diabetic), the more likely one will get it.\n\nGet to your gyno.

Yes. Yeast infections can cause it! So can tampons. Using a tampon does NOT mean you aren't a virgin....

In where? And what kind of white stuff?\n\nAre you a female? Are you having a white vaginal discharge that's a little like cottage cheese? If so, yeast infection.

A yeast infection in the lady you ate out doesn't mean there is something wrong with her or you esp. if you say you didn't know.\nIf your mouth gets white on the inside like in the cheeks and the tongue you'll know.\nBabies get yeast infections.\nYeast infections and bladder infections is normal woman thing.

Also - some are normal.  Smooth, clear or slighly whitish secretions are usually normal.  Chunky white secretions indicate a yeast infection, which can be easily treated with over-the-counter medications.  Any other color or texture needs to be taken directly to a doctor!  It could be some kind of infection.  Do not clean too much!  Douching and over-washing with soap can actually cause more infections, since that would clear the vagina of bacteria that it grows for its own protection.  If you are in any doubt at all, consult a doctor.  If you have Kaiser or are a college student with access to student health services, there are nurses you can call on the phone to ask.

it could be PMS or your diet, have you had a lot of caffeine lately? Has anyone sucked on them too hard? (sorry to detailed) but that usually happens...I don't think it's a yeast infection

It is possible to suffer from a yeast infection without exhibiting all of the symptoms of a yeast infection. Typically a woman will notice a thick discharge, will suffer from itching and irritation, and may experience pain or buring while urinating or having sex. Sometimes the discharge is whitish in color, sometimes it may be more yellow. Sometimes the discharge is odorless, sometimes it may have a yeasty smell to it. Sometimes there may not be any noticeable discharge. Symptoms and the severity of the symptoms can vary among women and how soon the woman seeks to have it diagnosed and treated.\n\nIt is always important to visit your doctor or gynecologist if you suspect you may have a yeast infection, because these symptoms can be easily confused with other conditions that have similar symptoms. Different vaginal infections like a yeast infection, bacterial vaginosis and trichominasis can all have similar symptoms, but they are all treated in different ways because they are caused by different organisms.\n\nLike others have said, I am going to advise you to visit a doctor. Don't try to self-treat yourself because you may be trying to treat a vaginal infection that won't respond to the treatments you are trying to use if you're just going by your symptoms. Your doctor will need to do a pelvic exam and take a culture-swab to determine the cause of your infection, so that you can receive the proper treatment.\n\nDon't listen to people on here. Though they are trying to help, they can't correctly diagnose you just by your symptoms. So visit your doctor, or if that's a problem, try locating a low-cost women's health clinic in your area until you can get things smoothed out. Best of luck to you!

I am like yeast infection prone. Usually you will get an increase in discharge and you might feel a little raw down there. Then the discharge will get really thick and sorta look like cottage cheese. Yeah I know its gross! It will itch soooo bad that you just wanna take a brush down there and go at it. I wouldnt recomend doing that though. There are many reasons woman get yeast infections. Some antibiotics can cause them. You can also get them from too much sex and not rinsing soap off very well. The best thing you can do is go to the drug store and get Monistat one day. Its more expensive than the 7 or 3 day one but it will clear it up a lot faster. Also, for the itching you could use Vagisil. Personally, I am allergic to it but it is suppose to help with the itch. If it feels like it burns when you put it on dont use it. Keep everything clean and dont itch because it will cause infection to get worse and you can cause a skin infection as well. If all of this doesnt work for you, you can call your dr and he will perscribe you a nasty tasting pill. I hope I could help.

A lot of symptoms may be because of hormonal changes in your body.  It may also be that you will be or are on your period.  If you are getting discharge in your underwear, beware of a yeast infection or stds.  \n\nAs long as you are getting your period, then you are not pregnant.  If you are worried, check with a doctor.

could be either, or neither.  Discharge is normal during early menstrual years.  You do tend to discharge before your period, and your dischard does tend to become thicker and more noticeable when you ovulate.  But discharge really fluxuates during your whole cycle.  It can also depend on other factors like medication, diet, activity level, etc.

I would lay off the sex if you have a yeast infection, the sperm could aggravate it or make it worse.  Eat a lot of yogurt or use Monistat and it should clear up in a few days.  Your cramps could be from ovaluting, maybe the ovary is having a hard time releasing the egg.  Is it on one side of your abdomen?   \n\nI wouldn't say you are pregnant because of your recent period, but I had severe cramps for 5 days when I was 2 weeks along, so you could be.  Take a test to be sure.
