Probably BV: Bacterial vaginosis is most likely. Yeast infections tend to cause irritation with a thicker, cottage cheese like discharge and a yeasty or bread-like odor. Bv causes a thinner, grey discharge with a typical bad or fishy odor. Monistat 3-day will treat yeast and is over the counter. There is no over the counter treatment for bv. It is typically treated with flagyl.

Bacterial Vaginosis?: Sounds like bacterial vaginosis, aka "gardnerella." it's not an std, but an overgrowth of intestinal bacteria. No otc meds that i know of; responds well to vaginal Metronidazole or clindamycin. You might try gentle douching with white vinegar (1 tbsp to 12 oz water), plus "pro-b probiotic feminine supplements; if not better- see your ob/gyn.
