Answer 1

This discharge that you are having is normal to have. This discharge that comes from the vagina and can occur at other times during the cycle. I would recommend checking with your doctor as well to see what they say.

Answer 2

Many other factors can play into your cycle.
Ask yourself these questions:
-has there been any change in job or female coworkers
it might be an old wives tale, but I believe those with strong hormones set the cycle for women around them.
-has there been an underlining/unresolved emotional issue
-have you been under any unusual stress

Irregularities in your cycle CAN develop, because the past hasn't presented any doesn't mean things won't change.

As for the discharge you are experiencing, that could be a normal discharge indicating ovulation. As your cycle progresses, your cervical mucus increases in volume and changes texture. The changes reflect your body's rising levels of estrogen. You are considered most fertile when the mucus becomes clear, slippery, and stretchy. Many women compare mucus at this stage to raw egg whites.

If your cycles have been normal as you say - Figure out when your next period is due to begin and count back 12 to 16 days. This will give you a range of days when you were probably ovulating.

To set your mind at ease take a pregnancy test - to at least rule it out.
