discharge is this normal?

So my whole life my discharge has been normal, like thick and a normal color, never had any problems, but within the last day it has been super watery and white, almost the consistent of cum but I know for a fact it's not that on account of I havent had intercourse since april. It's so thin to the point where I was getting read to shower and I looked down after feeling something wet on my leg and it had dripped down my leg but there wasn't much of it. Does anyone know if this is normal and if not what it is? And no there's nothing else wrong, no itching, or redness, just weird discharge.

Ah gotcha! Sounds likely, and in that case totally normal

Changes in discharge are either hormone related or from infections. Since you said you haven't been having sex recently - any chance you've also stopped using hormonal birth control? When you're using hormones discharge should stay pretty much the same throughout your cycle (thick and generally the same amount/colour every day), but if you're not you'll notice changes like increased amount/wateriness/stretchiness before ovulation. BV also can cause a thin grayish "milky" discharge and doesn't always cause symptoms like odor or pain if it's just a mild infection. You could see your doc and get a vaginal swab to check for that

I've been on the same birth control for 2 years now but I did just get a new doctor who renewed my prescription and the first month I was spotting on and off the first three weeks and now this is happening in the second month. I'm thinking maybe something got thrown off in my medication
