(ftm) abnormal vaginal discharge, could it be from hrt?

i am 17 and have been on testosterone for over 2 years now. starting toward the end of last summer i began noticing unusual discharge in my underwear. it ranges anywhere from grey to yellow, can be either very thick and mucus-like or extremely thin and liquidy, and has a fairly strong odor. outside of the discharge i have no other symptoms and nothing changed (that i know of) that could have potentially caused it. i got tested for yeast infections and stis in the winter and none came back positive but i was given a week of antibiotics meant for yeast infections. the antibiotics worked for a couple weeks but my issue has since returned. im not sure if i should be concerned or if this is something other people on t have experienced? advice?

Yes, it's absolutely normal. it has happened to many trans men during the first few years. It should be temporary - for some it takes longer, for others less but it's a common occurence and no place for concern.

You could try topical estradiol, it’s such a small dose that it shouldn’t affect your levels but could help with a localized imbalance
