Hi and thanks for your question.

It is not possible to diagnose online and though this may be nothing serious, since this discharge is unusual for you it is recommended that you talk with a healthcare provider in person to determine what may have caused it. Perhaps you could talk with someone where you get your birth control or you could use our clinic finder for other options in your area.
