what is your discharge like? i have no idea what's normal!

hi all,
i recently got diagnosed with bv and am wondering how long i have had it. it seems like ever since i hit puberty i've had some kind of discharge and i've never known what's completely normal or not. i'm pretty much used to seeing dried discharge on every pair of panties at the end of the day (and don't know if that's normal). i bought some boric acid suppositories and i think they do help -- they make my discharge odourless for a few days/weeks, but i feel like every cycle the odour will come back at some point.
what really tips me off though is that my discharge def has a fishy odour. i used to notice it sometimes days i would wear leggings or yoga pants to school. it's especially noticable (to me) after sex and i always get self-conscious, though nobody else has mentioned it. i dont know how to describe the discharge other than white/clear/gray (ish?) and usually pretty watery, sometimes a bit thicker/gellish. i don't even really know what grey discharge would look like so i'm asking about all of your symptoms. i don't have any redness/itching/irritation. i know some vaginal discharge IS normal and honestly i don't know how to differentiate healthy from bv discharge. before/after or comparison photos would be super appreciated !!
