Thanks, Jennifer. I didn't mention that I don't have a uterus or ovaries since age 29 when I had a pan-hysterectomy for severe endometriosis. I am now 70 y.o. Been on ERT since then, and don't want to stop now. So this discharge must be from the vaginal wall. Right?

@littleoaksc52 As I am not a medical professional, and no one can give a diagnosis here on Connect, I'm not qualified to answer that question, but I can tell you (because I have studied histology) that there are cells in the vaginal wall that produce lubrication. Would you ask your prescribing doctor about it just in case it could be something to be concerned about? You are in a unique position because you don't have to worry about an endocrine induced uterine or ovarian tumor. Has someone told you to stop hormone replacement? I have bioidentical compounded HRT. My doctor has said I can do that as long as I wish.
