Q. Are vaginal secretions normal?
A. Yes. It's normal to have secretions at times of the month other than your period. These secretions keep the vagina clean, help prevent infection, and provide lubrication during sexual arousal and intercourse. You may notice clear sticky discharge about 2 weeks after your period. This is very normal and is a sign that you have ovulated. (Which may come in handy when you want to get pregnant, or if you choose to abstain during that time).
If your discharge itches, burns, smells bad or changes color, you should see a health care provider promptly since you may have an infection. Don't stress over it, not all infections are STDs and even virgins get yeast and bacterial infections.
When in doubt or worried, see a gynecology, or practitioner. No one can diagnose over the Internet. For more on your hymen, see that page. For more on yeast infections, go there.

when there's a discharge but no itch, that means you're ovulating, usually there's a discharge before period comes.

it is probably a bacterial infection. look up gardnella and see if this symptoms apply to you. if you do have an abcterial infection you need to go to the doctor, they will probably prescribe metronidazole
