Cervical mucus serves several functions, it keeps the vagina clean by washing away anything in it's path, it is also associated with your fertility cycle, from a creamy, milky - white to a thin, clear, tacky jell that sticks and stretches.
While using hormonal Birth Control the mucus is thicker, in an attempt to slow down or prevent sperm from entering the uterus or fallopian tubes. It may seem like more than normal, just because what you have tends to be thicker, all the time.
Any mucus that has a strong, unpleasant odor, is accompanied burning or itching - could be signs of an infection and should be discussed with your OB/GYN, midwife or family doctor.

I recently just got off birth control its been about 8 days and I have noticed I have had a lot more discharge than normal Its white yellowish cloudy color and creamy is this normal?
Yes, it's very normal. One of the ways hormonal birth control prevents pregnancy is to make the cervical mucus thicker so it's harder for sperm to get through. Once you stop hormonal birth control, you will begin to see a normal cycle of cervical mucus again, which will change throughout your menstrual cycle. If the discharge has no odor and no itching, there is no need for concern.
