It is normal. I always called it my "egg release" although there is certainly a better medical name for it. Just about all women get it, and at times it will be heavier than other times. At least you know you are normal, and it's nothing to be concerned with.

Glands inside your vagina and cervix make small amounts of fluid. This fluid flows out of the vagina each day, carrying out old cells that have lined the vagina. This is your body's way of keeping your vagina healthy and clean. The discharge is usually clear or milky and doesn't smell bad.
The color and thickness of the discharge change with your monthly cycle. The discharge is thicker when you ovulate (when one of your ovaries releases an egg), this also happens to woman when they breastfeed or when you're sexually excited.
Changes that may signal a problem include an increase in the amount of discharge, a change in the color or smell of the discharge, and irritation, itchiness or burning in or around your vagina. This is called vaginitis. A discharge that's stained with blood when you're not having your period could also be a sign of a problem.
I would recommend that if you have any of these signs or any concerns regarding this you consult with your doctor.
Good luck :)

That is normal, it happens when you ovulate.
