Grey Discharge NO ODOR

[amourousfire18]

Hello. I have researched this issue, but cant seem to get info on gret discharge with no odor? I had sex 3 days ago; it was rather rough, too. Today when I wiped there was some grey discharge...there is no order at all. Is this something that is fairly normal? Period due in about 5 days. I know sometimes they say BV can be associated with grey discharge, but since there is no odor I dont know if that would be BV or maybe just normal? Any help would be much appreciated. Thank you!!

Hi amourousfire,

If you haven't already, check out this article:
Honorably Discharged: A Guide to Vaginal Secretions

If the discharge continues, and you're concerned, you can check in with a healthcare provider to see if anything is up.

I appreciate your response, but I'm sorry it didn’t seem to help too much. That basically said that I could have any STD or STI. I was just wondering if the discharge is normal with no odor or now I have to be worried that I have an STD with someone I have been monogamous with for 2 years?

Hi amourousfire,

I'm sorry that the article stressed you, but it's meant to be a general guide for evaluating what your discharge might mean. Neither I, nor anyone else on the internet, can diagnose it for you (and, if you're up to date on your STI tests, then you can rule out that as an option anyway). But, since you've only had this discharge today, you may want to wait a few days and see what happens. It could just be a fluke of your body. If it continues to be grey, or changes to another color (like green), or picks up a smell that's not good, then it would be time to check in with a doctor.

I may have figured out why weird discharge. I completely forgot but when we ran out of lube, we were using Suave Coco Butter lotion, and thats probably the contributor to it since its not made to do that with.

Yep, that might be a factor (also, just so you know for the future, if you're using a latex condom, you'll want to avoid things that have cocoa butter in them, as it can cause the latex to fail).
