For the past couple days I've been getting feelings almost like my vagina is "burping" a little and when I go to the restroom there's a discharge that's more or less like a "booger" - very thick and kind of like the rubber cement you peel off the back of a gift card. I've had three spots in my neck and it totally messed up my period for the past 3 months (they do that) but this is new... ???
Definitely no pregnancy nor STDs.
Update:Thanks! I'm definitely getting the thick "ovalation" discharge as well just these real oddly thick clumps took me a bit by surprose... but then I has a 23 day period after my first two neck shots and a 2 day period after my third! (I have neck surgery on Wednesday) so I guess nothing should come as a surprise right now :) LOL
Update 3:Thanks to you as well :) I'm actually going into hospital on Wed so I'll ask the nurses :) It hasn't happened since yesterday but I'll ask anyway since I'll be there!

you are Ovulating- totally Normal
Vaginal discharge is normal and varies during your menstrual cycle. Before ovulation (the release of the egg), there is a lot of mucous produced, up to 30 times more than after ovulation. It is also more watery and elastic during that phase of your cycle. You may want to wear panty liners during that time.
The things to be worried about include if the discharge has a yellow or green color, is clumpy like cottage cheese, or has a bad odor. If worried, see a doctor.
Different Types of Discharge
White: Thick, white discharge is common at the beginning and end of your cycle. Normal white discharge is not accompanied by itching. If itching is present, thick white discharge can indicate a yeast infection.
>>>>>>>>Clear and stretchy: This is "fertile" mucous and means you are ovulating.
Clear and watery: This occurs at different times of your cycle and can be particularly heavy after exercising.
Yellow or Green: May indicate an infection, especially if thick or clumpy like cottage cheese or has a foul odor.
Brown: May happen right after periods, and is just "cleaning out" your vagina. Old blood looks brown.
Spotting Blood/Brown Discharge: This may occur when you are ovulating/mid-cycle. Sometimes early in pregnancy you may have spotting or a brownish discharge at the time your period would normally come. If you have spotting at the time of your normal period rather than your usual amount of flow, and you have had sex without using birth control, you should check a pregnancy test.
