its very natural. almost all women discharge. i know i have it and all my friends do also. if its really heavy, try putting a panty liner in your underwear to avoid staining.

That is perfectly normal and it would be worrying if it didn't happen! What you are seeing/feeling is cervical fluid. You might notice more of it about two weeks after you start your period, maybe a little sooner? That would be about 11-16 days before your period. The consistency is important too, if it is crumbly, creamy, like eggwhites (right before ovulation at day 14 or so)... All these clues can help you determine if you are healthy. Doctors don't learn about this is much detail I don't think, so they can't be very reassuring.
If you want to know about what is normal and what is not and why it is normal or not, check out the book, Taking Charge of Your Fertility by Toni Weschler. It is super easy to read and very interesting. She walks you through your cycle and since I read it, I haven't worried about my normal discharge. I wish I would have read the book years ago, because I used to worry all the time. It would have saved me several doctors appts and lots of worry. It's available on amazon for 16 bucks or oftentimes from your local library! Good luck!

some discharge is completely normal but the way your describing it is worriesome for sure. I'd definetly tell you to see your doctor about it, there may be a much more serious underlining issue. Get regular pap tests done and be sure to talk to your doctor about any changes, especially like this. It does sound like your cycle is a little bit haywired so that might have something to do with it as well. For peace of mind and a much more informed answer talk to your doctor.

Well if you know its not a yeast infection and you know your not pregnant. It could be an std. But if i were you i would go to the doctor and have a blood pregnancy test done just to be certain and if its not that then he can for sure tell you what it is.

it's just discharge which is fine. however, if it is smelly or discoloured it could indicated something further such as an STD or an infection.

as long as its white honey, i doubt its anything bad.
if you have only recently started your periods, they will be irregular.
