Do I have BV or a yeast infection?

Posted , 3 users are following.

Hello,

I am a 20 year old girl and I just lost my virginity to my boyfriend of six months about two weeks ago. When we had sex for the first time, I bled a lot. We didn't use a condom since I am on birth control so he came inside of me.

The next few days I noticed that my discharge was a little off. It was brownish in color but I thought it was just leftover blood. We had sex again (without a condom) and two days later I woke up with a strange smell. It didn't smell fishy but it was definitely not normal. However, the smell has only been in the mornings when I wake up. After that, I don't smell it anymore. My discharge is milky with a greyish/brownish color. It doesn't smell like anything when I put it up to my nose. I also had a little bit of burning when I peed but that has gone away. Now, I notice that I have itching around my vaginal hole.

I'm kinda freaking out. Since it is a weekend, clinics are closed. I have never dealt with any weird smells or vaginal infections before. This is my first time having sex and I'm feeling really discouraged about this. Does anyone know if it is a yeast infection or BV? I really don't want to use condoms so how can I prevent this from happening next time?
