Sweetie...you sound scared.
I'm sorry I can't give you the advice you need..
Maybe it's a hormonal thing.
When you say it smells...that def does not sound good.
You really should go to see your dr.
Sooner than later.
Good Luck

About discharge- A normal vaginal discharge consists of about a teaspoon (4 ML) a day that is white or transparent, thick to thin, and ODORLESS. This is formed by the normal bacteria and fluids the vaginal cells put off. The discharge can be more noticeable at different times of the month depending on ovulation, menstrual flow, sexual activity and birth control.

It is not uncommon for the normal discharge to be dark, brown or discolored a day or two following the menstrual period.

If you are having ANY of the symptoms below SEE YOUR HEALTH CARE PROVIDER.
Pain

Itching

Discomfort

Rash or sores alone or with a vaginal discharge



White: Thick, white discharge is common at the beginning and end of your cycle. Normal white discharge is not accompanied by itching. If itching is present, thick white discharge can indicate a yeast infection.

Clear and stretchy: This is "fertile" mucous and means you are ovulating.

Clear and watery: This occurs at different times of your cycle and can be particularly heavy after exercising.

Yellow or Green: May indicate an infection, especially if thick or clumpy like cottage cheese or has a foul odor.

Brown: May happen right after periods, and is just "cleaning out" your vagina. Old blood looks brown.

Spotting Blood/Brown Discharge: This may occur when you are ovulating/mid-cycle. Sometimes early in pregnancy you may have spotting or a brownish discharge at the time your period would normally come. If you have spotting at the time of your normal period rather than your usual amount of flow, and you have had sex without using birth control, you should check a pregnancy test
