Go see your doctor: I'm trying to figure out whether you're describing "jelly" or "yellow" discharge. The good news is that you're on birth control and there's no odor. But if you're concerned, best to go see your family doc to get checked out. I'm sure you know, but just in case, birth control prevents pregnancy, but not sexually transmitted infections. If you're not mutually monogamous, make him wear a condom.
