Snot coloured discharge with disgusting smell? Defo no std and don't think thrush has anybody ever had this? Stressed out :( x
If its definately not an STI or thrush then consider bacterial vaginosis?

You can go to your GP or the GUM clinic to get it checked out and sorted

you can put your postcode on here to find your nearest NHS sexual health service (I find they know more about these things than GP's anyway).

Definitely a good idea, good luck and wishing you comfyness in your near future
I would say that you may have Bacterial Vaginosis (BV)... its not sexually transmitted its a natural infection women get because of an imbalance of the ph in the vagina.. i used to have this regularly.
Got an appointment for fri, to check checked out, how to they test for it? Is I a swab or urine test? X
In the first link I posted:
how is bacterial vaginosis diagnosed?
The typical discharge and its characteristic fishy smell makes BV likely. In women in a regular, monogamous relationship, your doctor or nurse may be happy to diagnose BV just by your typical symptoms. However, there are some tests available that can help to confirm the diagnosis. Also, if you are pregnant, it is important to make an accurate diagnosis if you have vaginal discharge so that any infection can be treated effectively. This will mean having one or more of the tests below.
Testing the acid level of your vagina
The discharge of BV has a typical pH level (acid/alkaline balance) compared to other causes of discharge. (The overgrowth of the bacteria of BV causes the pH to change in the vagina so that it becomes more alkaline, ie the pH rises.) If available, your doctor or nurse may suggest that they take a sample of your discharge and test it with some pH paper. In addition, if an alkali is added to a sample of the discharge, it often causes a characteristic fishy smell.
Taking a sample (a swab)
To confirm the diagnosis, your doctor or nurse may also suggest that a sample (a swab) of your discharge be taken from your vagina and sent to the laboratory for testing. Large numbers of various bacteria that occur with BV are seen under the microscope. Your doctor or nurse may suggest that they take more than one swab from your vagina to rule out other causes of vaginal discharge.
