Non-specific urethritis, chlamydia, or gonnarhea?

Over the weekend, I had unprotected sex with a female I have known for a while.  

Tuesday morning, I woke up and had slight burning when I urinated.  It wasn't bad, just enough to get noticed.  Later that day when I got to work I noticed that I had a slightly white discharge from my penis.  None of the subsequent urination since Tuesday have burned.

I went to the doctor Tuesday afternoon, told him what happened, he said it sounded liek chlamydia and put me on 10 days of 200mg Doxycycline, and I also urinated in a cup (still waiting on lab results) - But since Tuesday afternoon the whitish discharge has gone and I am left with a constant watery wetness from my penis.  It's not a large amount, but enough that the opening of my penis is somewhat wet.  

My undersatnding with gonnarhea and chlamydia is that there is usually quite a large amount of discharge that comes out of the penis.  I have spoken to my partner about it and she was surprised, said she's never had symptoms of anything, and is getting tested for most STDs today, including ghon. and chl.  

While I await the results of my labs, is there anything you can tell me based on what I've said?  The doctor never looked at my penis.  Only went on the description I gave him.

Well now I'm reading testing procedures and how for these tests there should be a max of 20-30ml urine in the cup.  I was not told this and I filled it up.. 120ml.  I wonder if it was too diluted to get an accurate result..  at least I knew enough to not have urinated in 2 hours and to get a first stream catch in the cup.  

I mean my symptoms started 2 days after possible exposure.  Nothing I've read about chlamydia says it starts before a week.  Gonnarhea starts as early as 2 days, but then it's possible that some of the microorganisms causing NGU could probably show symptoms that early as well.

The nurse called me with test results, literally 5 minutes after the last post in this thread by you, Vance.  Negative for gonnarhea and chlamydia.  So it looks like NGU it is.  

I'm on day 4 of antibiotics and I still have the watery substance leaking.. any idea how long this can go on, what exactly the watery substance is, and what the mechanics of its creation are?

I'm pretty stoked that the test results were negative for those two STDs.

Thanks.

With the oral sex really push towards NGU. And not the others.

I should add that oral sex was performed by her on me as well.  I'm wondering if our bacteria just aren't getting along..

I wish lab work didn't take so long!

I am guessing NGU based on symptoms. I would probably rule out gonorrhea, but maybe chlamydia.

I should specify.. only the one urination event Tuesday morning event had any burning.  None of the others Tuesday or any other day have burned.  The time of sex was Saturday night, so that would be about 3 days from time of sex until symptoms.
