Why Unusual Discharge, When Having Sex ?
Towards the end of sex, my boyfriend and I have noticed a thick, white, creamy discharge on the base of his penis. It came from me. We have been sexual partners for the past four years and have both tested negative for STD s. I recently had a culture done for yeast and bacterial infections that came back negative as well. I recently switched birth control from yasmin to the nuva-ring, though the discharge has appeared during use of both. This discharge is unlike any that I normally experience throughout the day or in most intercourse. Could you please explain why this happens?

The thick white discharge you has is probably very innocuous. It is likely to be a mass of dead exfoliated cells and proteins from the vaginal surface, which has dried up partially to become thick. If it if bothering you, then remove the nuva-ring, take a light vaginal douche and insert the nuva-ring back within an hour or so. If it is not bothering you, then just ignore it.
