Answer 1

Iit is normal to have increased vaginal discharge the week before your period starts. It is often a light, cloudy color, with a slight astringent or sweet-sour smell. This thicker discharge is the result of the increase in the level of the hormone progesterone before your period starts.  

If your discharge and odor continue after your period ends, talk with you mom or another trusted adult about it, and consider making an appointment with your doctor to get checked. If it stops however, then you are most likely noticing a normal part of the female menstrual cycle.
