White discharge
I have been getting a pretty bad white discharge for the last week or so. Also rather potent smelling. My periods are very irregular at the moment as I had to take a morning after pill last month, but have since had a period even though I got it sooner than was expected. My breasts have also been a bit tender but not too bad. If I have calculated correctly, since my last period ended on the 21st of January, so should perhaps be due for my next period next week sometime. Also, been taking doxycycline for the last month after travelling to Asia. Do you think the discharge could be linked to either of the above reasons (the morning after pill I took and the doxycycline I am still taking?) Or perhaps my body is now completely out of sinc because of the morning after pill.
Please advise!

The antibiotics could have caused thrush, which produces a thick white discharge which is usually itchy.
