I have had some great side effects of the fish oil...much softer skin, smooth hair (I've always had thick, wiry hair so this is good for me), more regular periods, less PMS, and much less cramping.

I do not have a sensitive stomach so I've had no burps or anything like that. Also, to answer Huntng40s question from a while back, I don't really notice the 'out of it' feeling after the DHA. Then again, sometimes with three kids, I feel out of it at the end of the day anyway!!

HOWEVER, the completely different things going on 'down there' are really making me crazy. It is at this time of the month that things were always slick and pleasant. This clumpy stuff with a fishy smell is making me very uncomfortable. It's almost as if I have a yeast infection.

I have been on Sears brand for over 30 days and I thought it would be different this month. Maybe I need to give it more time.

Anyone else notice this effect?

Hey MafiaP!

Sorry to hear things still aren't going well for you during this time; I've never noticed an odor and neither has my man. He tells me my lube is thinner and more slippery than previously, and that he's happy with it. I think it's more whitish than usual but he says not.

Do you drink enough water? The full 8-9 8oz glasses daily? I don't know if that may help you or not; with me if I don't drink enough I can't get lubed up properly and when I do it's thicker than what is usual for me now.

Maybe you can try a different brand of FO? Wait until the Sears runs out and get a different type?

Good luck!

That sounds like a yeast infection.

It's normal for vaginal secretions post-ovulations to become white and thicker, like a smooth paste, but there shouldn't be any clumps. My diet I believe helps women become more fertile and increases healthy vaginal secretions and lubrication, so if you hadn't noticed the white post-ovulational secretions before you might find it disconcerting. But the clumping thing is making me think you might want to see your gynecologist.

I'm not being sarcastic...I am familiar with the secretions...I was always classic...very clear during ovulation and as menstruation approached, it became thicker, almost sticky.

However, since on this diet, it is very clumpy during ovulation, then clears as my period approaches it becomes normal and stays that way until ovulation the next month. This has happened three months in a row now. I've had yeast infections...they can't be mistaken.

If you've not heard of this reaction, I guess I need to see a doctor. I would have sworn it was the fish oil...it is too coincidental.

Thanks for the feedback.
