I'm on birth control pill and my period was over a week ago.. wondering why it smells like my period still (no blood, just creamy white discharge)?

Mixture: of old blood with vaginal and cervical mucous. Warm water or baking soda douche , avoid tight thong-type underwear and have discharge evaluated with a bacterial culture by your GYN.
