Okay, I haven't started my period yet but I know I will start soon. But I am wondering if there is a pattern in discharge. Like do you have a lot of discharge and then start your period or do you have not have very much at all? Like some days I will have discharge and some days only a little. Also I have been having low back cramps for probably 2x a week, but then I don't start my period.

Right before u period is ovulation. That will be like extra clear dishcharge and its normal as long as the color is clear and their is no smell. You will have cramps before because your progesterin builds up in ur system. Take advil two or three days before period to avoid pain.

For most girls, their first menstrual period, or menarche (say: meh-nar-kee), begins about 1 1/2 to 2 years after breast development starts. In some girls, the time from the beginning of puberty to getting the first menstrual period may take only 6 months; for other girls, it may take longer - up to 3 years. Every girl is different, and there is a wide range of normal development during puberty.
A good sign you're getting close to the time when your first period will arrive is if you notice a thick, white mucous discharge coming from your vagina. Usually, this happens for a number of months before you get your first period.
After you've gotten your period and you're menstruating, it means that your body is able to have a baby (even though you probably don't want one yet!). Every girl has two ovaries filled with thousands of tiny eggs and two fallopian tubes that connect the ovaries to a place called the uterus or womb, where babies grow. If you've already gotten your period, it means that special chemicals, or hormones, in your body are telling the eggs in your ovaries to mature.
So each month, one egg matures and begins its journey to the uterus. While it's traveling, the walls of your uterus get thicker with blood and tissue, which can act as a nice, soft cushion for a baby. Once the egg reaches the uterus, if it hasn't been fertilized by sperm, the uterus doesn't need this blood-and-tissue cushion and pushes it out through your vagina. Ta dah! Your period has arrived!
Once you get your period, you may once again worry about whether you're normal. No two girls' periods are exactly alike. Some girls have periods that last for 2 days, and other girls have periods that last for more than a week. Some girls have very heavy periods with monthly cramps, and others have much lighter periods after the first couple of days.
It also takes a while (usually 12 to 18 months) for a girl's period to become regular after her first period. You may get your first period and then not have another for a few months. That's perfectly normal. The amount of blood you lose during your period can vary, too. You can bleed anywhere from a few spoonfuls to a cup (240 milliliters) of blood each time you have your period.
If you think that you are bleeding too much or are worried that something is wrong, talk to your doctor. Some differences are normal, but you shouldn't be bleeding for a few weeks at a time or going more than 6 months without a period.
Are you thinking a lot about when your first period will arrive? You're not alone. Lots of girls wonder and wonder - when will it come? If you feel a little worried or anxious about getting your period, it can help to talk to someone you trust, like your mom or older sister.

People are so complex and varied that 'rules' and 'norms' are not possible. A change is vaginal secretions and discharge is normal as hormone levels change during the month even after your menstrual cycles begin. The same is true for lower back pain and pelvic cramping (back cramps occur but is less common than pelvic cramps). Physiology has a mind of its own and when your body is sufficiently prepared your menstrual cycles will begin and not always pleasantly.
