Answer 1

It's vaginal discharge every woman has it i was freaked out when i found out too! Usually it increases right before a woman's period. Not always usually, every woman is different. "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 30X 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.

Is this normal?



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 "

that gunk is what your vigiana does to clean its self out. the yellow though...if it smells bad or has a lumpy cottege cheese texture to it you might be getting a yeast infection, you should wate a coupple of days and if it does not go away then check in with your doctor, and never duche, its very very bad for you and can cause/ increase infection....

It could be a sign that you're ovulating, which means your period will come soon.

Welcome to womanhood! This is very normal- get used to it. I assume you haven't yet had your first period- you will have many questions later- but this is very normal- any girl will tell you- it just happens.
