I have pcos- on birth control. i had this like thick stringy discharge the other day and i'm not quite sure what's wrong. i missed one day this month.

Thick discharge: birth control pills make mucus thicker to help prevent sperm penetration. If the discharge itches, burns, or has an odor, see your gyn as you may have an infection.
