SEE?? Isn't it nice to hear that we are not the only ones? I truly don't
know what it could be, besides physiologically "normal"- meaning that is
how our bodies naturally are. If that is so, then I guess that is the
best news, but it is difficult to believe when you read about how
discharge should mostly be clear, ordorless, etc., with very little
variation. I am on the pill, though.Now there are 3 of us waiting for a
resoponse!
