Question
I am 19 years old and I finish my period on thursday, the next day friday my boyfriend and I had protected sex and he pulls out before he goes, and I am now experiencing and orangish/pinkish discharge, its like my normal discharge with no smell, just a different color, but the color is not bright, it is a very light color. But I do use playtex deodorized tampons. What could this be?
Answer
I think it is nothing to worry about and yes, my theory has been confirmed twice now - I think it has something to do with the tampons. I suggest an unscented tampon next month and as always, if the color gets odd or the discharge is clumpy, see your doctor.
