New OCP : Thick discharge is common one day before a menstrual period. If you don't get your period, give your OB a call! However, right now, it sounds like your experience is perfectly normal.

No uncommon: Most likely this is some cervical mucous or vaginal mucous. Some formulations of pills can cause this. Not to worry. Hope this helps. Good luck.
