Saga of the Ever Changing Discharge

The more I research, the more confused I get, so maybe someone has something similar:

In April, I was diagnosed with vaginal strep, which consisted of a creamy, grayish discharge that was sometimes thick and other times thin with what looked like gray clumps in it.  There was intense itching and a distinct, nonoffensive smell.  There was no redness of the vulva, no pain during urination.  I was treated, and supposedly it went away, althought there was a profuse white discharge afterwards (what I assumed and treated as a yeast infection).

In late June, the same discharge/odor/itch/no pain during urination came back, and I assumed it was the same strep infection.  I did not treat it this time, and it went away.

Now (Aug 30), I have a new perplexing situation:  After my period ended earlier this week, there was an intense itching with a thick, clumpy discharge.  It looked mucopurulent (thick, hint of yellow), itched, no odor, no pain during urination.  I had sex (itching afterwards, which I realize is worrisome) with my boyfriend, who is a diabetic and has no symptoms.  In the morning, there was some slightly brown, thin discharge (assuming from me being dry and rough mutual masturbation?)  Then in the early afternoon, the discharge changed to thin and yellow (less itching, no pain during or change in frequency of urination), and now it has a foul smell (it reminds me of mulch or walking through the botanic gardens... odd).  I have a doc appointment scheduled for next week, but was curious in the meantime... has anyone has similar symptoms or a diagnosis?  Thank you so much, I appreciate it!

I haven't been tested recently enough, unfortunately, hence the doctor's appointment.   Today, beginning with the slightly brown discharge in the morning to thin/clear/slightly odorous yellow in the afternoon, now things this evening are changing again.  The discharge is very minimally itchy, thin, and creamy/offwhite, but still in volume slightly more than normal.

Any ideas what this might be?  Its so weird and keeps changing so much I'm clueless!  Thank you so much, again!

It sounds as if you may have a yeast infection. Have you been tested for STDs?
