Rules are:
no smell=ok
no pain/nurning either now or after weeing=ok
colourless=ok

everyone is different- just like some people have snottier noses!

honestfriend · 09/01/2009 13:07

nurning!!! = burning.

Tidgypuds · 09/01/2009 13:07

I dont think there is a normal amount but around ovulation I know mine increases and always has done especially since having the DC. If everything has come back ok I wouldnt worry too much if its not smelling or itchy.

Get some pantyliners thats what I use them sometimes, keeps your underwear clean then.

Its not really Yuk,just a fact of being a woman and think, if you didnt have it you would be pretty dry up there and that would be quite unpleasant.

mrsmaidamess · 09/01/2009 13:14

A -ha! I'm 38, fast approaching 39. (Sob!)

Mine has def. got worse over the past couple of years. Its probably just hormonal changes as you get older.

I've always had quite a lot of discharge - just one of those things I think.

mrsmaidamess · 09/01/2009 13:17

I think, like increases in wrinkles and hair in places where you don't want it, its just one of the delights of ageing. Panty Liners are the answer.

Steady on ladies- when you get as old as me you'll be shoving hormone creams in there to create more wtness! Enjoy it whilst you have it
