Question : hi doctor i had a baby 2 momtbs ago and i am not breastfeeding but my periods have not yet come back. i am getting alot of discharge that is like water wet and milky thick discharge. i am feeling nausea tol. we are using condoms as protection. could the discharge and nausea indicate ovulation?
Brief Answer:
Probably related to hormones...
Detailed Answer:
Hi,
Post delivery ovulation can start as early as the second month. But I would not be able to predict or confirm if or not ovulation has already started. Current episodes of watery / milky discharge are possibly the effects of hormones - either due to arrival of period or rarely pregnancy.
Do you have itching / burning?
Do you feel the discharge is curdy or have foul smell to it?
If your answer is yes to any of the two, then there is a possibility of infection. That should be treated.
At this point of time the best course of action will be to undergo a home pregnancy test. If the test return negative, then I would suggest a wait and watch course.
Hope this answered your question. Let me know if you need clarifications.
Regards

hi i have attached a pocture of the discharge it does havw a smell
Brief Answer:
Unable to assess the nature of discharge...
Detailed Answer:
Hi,
I am unable to assess the nature/condition based on the picture that you sent. If it continues to smell, it would be worthwhile getting the discharge tested at a laboratory - to check for infections.
In the meanwhile I do suggest getting a home pregnancy test, though the likely hood of pregnancy is extremely low given the fact the intercourse was protected. I will also suggest you drink plenty of water. Maintain good hygeine. You should also try cranberries.
