hi! 18/f
lately i've been having some yellow-ish discharge. now i just started taking a new birth control this month and i'm suppose to get my period next week but i'm not sure if the yellow-ish color is normal? its not always yellow, sometimes it'll be clear but i'm just worried now i have some kind of infection or something down there. should i get it checked out or am i okay? and if i did get it checked out to see if i had an infection how exactly do they check? do they have to stick something up there or do you have to pee haha sorry i just think it may be awkward going to the doctor to see if i have an infection down there. by the way i'm still a virgin and not sexually active. well thanks!
Additional info, added Friday January 16 2009, 12:55 am: i am embarassed to bring it up with my mom though about going to the doctor. because if i did have an infection how does one get one anyways? and when you make an appointment what are you suppose to say, "Oh i think i might have an infection down there?" like isnt that embarassing?.

or you are 18 so you can go on your own the gyno.
it might be the birth control or it might be an infection. but i'd go get it checked out just incase because if its an infection you want to catch it early. and you can get infections from a lot of things other than having sex like working out a lot and not showering very well afterward and other things like that.
