Hormonal imbalance: Could it be the start of your period? Menstrual irregularities are not uncommon and anovulatory cycle is a common cause. If you miss more than two periods it would be time to see your doctor. If you do not wish to be pregnant, use contraception all the time. You may consider implanted contraceptive or an IUD.

Chlamydia: The discharge probably is due to your chlamydial infection and not a concern at this time. Symptoms of chlamydia are highly variable; and they take a week or more to clear up after treatment. Contact your doctor if discharge is still present after a week or so.
