Is A White Cloudy Discharge After Intercourse Normal?
Hi I m a little embarrassed to ask about this after I ve researched it. My boyfriend and I had sex 24 hrs ago and we wanted to try it without a condom so trusting him fully I agreed and thankfully he used the withdrawal method before the end. I know it was stupid now that I think about it but this morning I felt some vaginal discharge and it was cloudy white and stretchy and was wondering if that s normal for the vagina to produce that after sex. I m always very hygienic and clean my body after sex so I feel comfortable knowing I haven t gotten anything or am going to get pregnant. But there is some doubt as to whether I could get pregnant.

Hello,
The white discharge is likely to be a cervical mucus plug that was dislodged during intercourse.
However, the withdrawal method does not ensure protection from pregnancy or infections.
So, if you miss your next period, please do a home pregnancy test. If any pain, discharge that is foul smelling, itching develops, it is concerning for infection.
So keep an eye on such symptoms too.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care
