do i need to go to the clinic? again...
i've been on loestrin 24 since about march and i don't really have any problem with it except that i keep having this wierd vinagar/ kinda fishy smell. sometimes the odor is really strong (the next day AFTER i've had sex) to relatively mild (after i take a shower) but its still there! when i put my finger inside me one day i noticed that the smell was way worse and coming from inside. i thought it might be BV again but the smell is the only thing that bothers me. oh and the discharge is milky-looking and gooey sometimes, not cottage cheese-like. i dont know if that's something normal or what. ive gotten tested for std's, got a pap, the whole nine yards and they say i'm clean and it's just the birth control but im sure you're not supposed to smell like that. and if it is the pills then i'd rather take my chances getting preggo than having this smell. do i have to go to the clinic again to find out what's wrong or am i just being paranoid?

It sounds like Bacterial Vaginosis (BV) you will need to have a wet mount performed by a gyn and if it shows bv then they will prescribe you something.

Millions of people are diagnosed with STDs in the U.S. each year.
STDs can't be transmitted by casual contact, like hugging or touching.
Syphilis is an STD that is transmitted by oral, genital and anal sex.
Discharge often isn't normal, and could mean an infection or an STD.
STDs aren't transmitted through clothing. Fabric is a germ barrier.
Normal vaginal discharge varies in color, smell, texture and amount.
