Smelly discharge.....do i need to be concerned?

Recently i have smelt a disgusting smell around the vaginal area and when i have looked in my underwear their is discharge and it is really smelly. This usually starts to appear between 1 - 2 week after my period has finished and lasts until my next period starts. The discharge is slimy and feels awful, i am constantly checking as the discharge is thick and creamy. When the discharge leaves my vagina it is the same feeling as when you come on your period, so i always dash for the toilet to check whether i have come on or whether it is discharge. Also when i am on my period does the smeel just seem to disappear because i use tampax and the tampx is soaking up the discharge? Is their something up with me as i am very worried. I am in a sexual active relationship and me and my partner are hoping for me to concieve as we wish to start a family, will the discharge stop me from getting pregnant? During sexual intercourse their is no pain and sex isnt uncomfy. I am very worried it will as we have been trying for the past 7 month, but from research i have found that it can take well over 6 months for women to concieve? I really need some answers as i am really worried that their is something really wrong with me?

You may already know this but the "white crap" is called discharge and it starts two years before you get your period, so yes the white stuff is normal. However as for the smell, i get that to and i am not quite sure if that is normal or not. I know that every vagina has its own natural smell but I don't know if it's supposed to come up in your discharge. If it helps you feel better i get smelly discharge too and as far as i know its normal. You should ask a parent for further info.

I have the same problem. I rush to the bathroom all the time to try to make sure it isn't my menstrual cycle but its just creamy colored discharge. My vaginal area does not itch at all but it leaves this very fishy smell...
