sounds like you will have a period soon, cramps and breast. tylenol and ibuprophen will help with the cramps, as will hot water (bottles or baths) and exercise.
However, I think you should talk to a doctor about the discharge. Usually, a discharge indicates a yeast infection or some other infection.
hope this helps.

The mild cramps and sore breasts are common prior to your menses starting. The time frame is very individual, so your menses could start in days or months. There's no real way to tell as every female is different. The best way to relieve the mild cramps is with heat (a heating pad, set on low or the hot packs that are sold in places like Wal-Mart, CVS Pharmacy, etc.. There are ones that come in boxes of 2 to 4 that just wrap around you or the smaller ones can be placed on your abdomen where you feel the cramping (these you can throw away - one brand is ThermaCare). There are also types that you can put in a microwave and heat. They have tiny pellets that absorb the heat and can be reused when needed. Drinking enough water (eight 8 ounce glasses a day, minimum, and on hot days more) and light aerobic exercise helps, also. Keeping your mind active helps, too. Listen to your favorite music, paint, if you're an artist, do what brings you happiness and try to get enough sleep. I hope some of this information will help you. Judy~

I was not 14 until I got mine. My good friend was not 16 until she got hers. Some girls are really early and some are really late. Some can start at age 10. Then go from there. I had a great deal of cramps and pains before I started. They were the worst I had in my life. My parents and I did not know what was wrong with me. Was it my apendix? No after a while my period came.
They sound like they could be signs, but a doctor would have to tell you for sure and as to medication you need to ask your mother and your doctor too. There are some really easy things they can do for comfort. You can do what I did and try some warm baths and see if that helps. You really should talke to your mother about this. Do you have a big sister and aunt? If you do not have a woman figure can you ask your school nurse? They can decide what is right for you. It should be something really easy. We do not know if you are allergic to medications or what else is going on with you, so you really need to talk to those closest to you.
I know it is hard. It sounds like changes are happening and you are correct that your period is comming really soon. If you have been sexually active that is something to disguss with people who love you and your doctor.

The mild cramps are an easy one to take care of. When you feel them coming on, take 2 ibuprofens. I'm a mother of a 12 yr old that has gone through the same thing. But I do believe that from the menstrual symptoms you are describing, your menstrual cycle is about to begin. Just make sure that you have pads in your home and carry a couple each day to school with you. You will find that your period will start very soon.

You should start it soon, I was the same for about a year and went to the doctor and it was kinda embarressing cause then I realised why I was feeling that way :p you'll also get sore breasts, mine hurt for about 2 years after starting.
Also when you first get your period, don't be suprised if you have it for a month or two then miss about 6 months and it will start up again properly. Another thing is don't be one of those girls who are desperate to start their period, make the most of life without it! Unless the cramps are really bad, don't take anything for them as you will probably be taking a fair amount of asprin when you get the real cramps but if taking medication doesn't bother you and they really hurt then go ahead.
Also don't think that you are a late starter, because 13 isn't late some girls start at 16/17 (lucky bitches!) I started just before my 12th or 13th birthday (Can't even remember!). And don't worry because its not really that bad.

Don't freak, you will get it when you get it. Trust me once you get it you're going to wish that you never got it. Take some Tylenol, or Advil, drink lots of water and exercise and that will help w/the cramps. More then likely if you have mild cramps and your boobs are sore you should probably start in a week maybe two. Plus since you don't n weight you may just start later then a girl who is heavier then you.

Oh honey hang in there. It's normal to have sore breast and mild cramping. It's the storm before the clam. It's any where from a few days to a week that you should start. the cramps and sore breast come first then your period should start. There are over the counter meds (pain relievers ) you can take for the pain.

A lot of women take midol for the cramping. I use regular tylenol and that works fine for me. With everything you've described, it sounds like you'll get your peiod any day now. Nobody can tell you it will happen by a specific day or age. Everybody is unique. Just be prepared and have pads at home and maybe even start carrying a couple in your purse just in case. I don't think you should start off using tampons. Best advise is to talk to your mother or doctor.

It's comig soon probably when you stop cramping. As for cramps, Mydol or anything without Aspirin, which will make you bleed more. If you want to bring your period on sooner, take a hot water bath and sit in it for a while. The heat will bring it on quicker. Don't make it too hot to get into though. You could also use a hot water bottle and lay it on your abdomen.

It's possible that you may have an imperforate hymen - in most women when they start their periods, there is already a hole in the hymen (the flap of skin that covers the opening to your vagina), which allows blood to come out. In some women, the hymen is completely intact and a small operation is required, to allow blood flow.
However, it is common for 'unusual' periods for the first year or two of menstruation. I wouldn't worry too much a tthe moment, but if the situation hasn't resolved in the next 6-12 months then go and see your doctor.
