Relax. First of all as long as you are not having sex, none of those things can happen to you. You should talk to your mom about what is happening. If there is an bad odor as you describe then there could be an infection. Your mom can make an appointment and a simple prescription will clear up the problem in notime. Being 12 and not having your period yet is not a big deal, it happens at different times for every girl. Above all, make sure you are upfront with your Mom (of course you might feel a little uncomfortable at first, but remember she's already done all of this!) Dad's get nervous when you talk about "girl stuff", but Dad is always an option if Mom isn't around, especially if you are upset or scared about something. best of luck and take care of yourself.

first of all, TAKE A DEEP BREATH. Discharge CANNOT cause pregnancy or herpes or any other STD. Those two things only come with having sexual intercourse.
Every girl has vaginal discharge and gets it everyday. If it has an overwhelmingly bad odor, tell your mom and she can take you to the doctor, because you may have an infection, WHICH HAPPENS TO A LOT OF GIRLS and doesn't mean under any circumstances that you are pregnant or have herpes.
And congratulations! Discharge is a sign that your body is slowly getting ready to start ovulating sometime in the future. There is nothing wrong, and tell your mom about your odor problem so you can get that taken care of. Good Luck!

You're fine. You haven't had your period yet, so this is almost definitely your body getting ready for your period. Relax.
Also, DO NOT DOUCHE. You will end up with infections, be more susceptible to STDs, etc.
And no, white discharge cannot CAUSE anything. Whoever told you that was an idiot.

first of all stop worrying!!!!!! There is nothing to worry... Itz just normal to have white dischrge a few days b4 ur period.Coming to Herpes... herpes is an STD n it spreads only through sex.White discharge can also be b'coz of yeast infection which almost every women has once in her life time.
yeast infection can be cured with just 1 oral dose.So u can wait for a few days for ur period to come.If u have any itching sensation it may be yeast infection.Then see a doctor....
No parents will freak out about this.Just speak with ur mom....she can help u better as she better understands u than any of us and can guide u in future.......

Do you have sex? I use to have this, but my gyno said it was no big deal. She said it was a way of my body cleaning itself almost. It also could mean you have a yeast infection. Its okay if you have one, a lot of girls and women get them often. All you need to do is go to a local store or drug store and get a cream or a pill they have for yeast infections. You can do it quietly if you need to and it doesn't involve a doctors visit. If after you try the medicine and the problem still persists then you might want to check with a doctor to make sure everything is okay. Good luck!

I am the same age as you. Don't worry. i have not gotten my period yet, either. Discharge ranges from white to offwhite. If the discharge is dark then you might want to see your doctor. Of course, you will still get your period! Just dont stress about it. If you are still concerned, see your doctor. He will tell you that this is normal for a pre-teen.

There is no need to worry...this is normal..its just a sign that you might be starting your period soon.. or you might have a yeast infection...its nothing major..if it is a yeast infection just go to the store and get some monistat 3 or 7 and it will clear it up...and you will be fine...

See the school nurse, then, if she says to go to the doctor, do it. It might help if you douched, for the odor. They sell ready to use douches at the drug store. Use the vinegar and water type, as it should not disturb your insides.

Don't worry!!
You get it when you're about to start your period!
There's nothing dangerous about it at all, it's just natural.
It doesn't cause pregnancy, herpes, or anything.
(Who told you that? o.O)
It's natural for it to have an odour and there's no need to see a doctor.
You're completely okay!

It is probably just a yeast infection. Tell your parents so they can take you to the doctor to have it checked out.
Take care and good luck!!
