White Discharge Help?

Question

I`ve been looking at some questions from girls who are saying that they have white gluey like substances on their underwear sometimes. I then read some of the answers and they said that just means youre getting youre period soon! I`m 13 and I`m scared of having my period. Can you tell me if it really means I`m about to get my period? And if so, how long will it be before I do.

P.S I`ve experienced this white stuff before and I`ve seen it months earlier.

Answer 1

the discharge lasts about a few months to a year. Its a way your body prepares for your period. Having your period is a womens way she gets rid of an egg that wasn't fertilized by sperm. Everyone's period is different some have heavy some have light periods. Also since your having the discharge i suggest you wear pantie liners.

Answer 2

well,first of all,this does mean that your period is coming 6 months to a year from the first time you find this discharge in your underwear,i am 10 and i have had it for about a year,so im probably about to get my period.good luck!

Answer 3

sweetie your getting there if your going to start school sometime soon i would ask your mom to buy you some pads just in case you get it at school it doesn't hurt when you have it however you may have some cramps but it just feels like when you have had too much to eat oh and you may becaome bloated wich means that your stomach feels bigger so if you wear tight jeans i suggest you dont that just puts more pressure on your stomach trust me you will feel like wearin sweats all day

Answer 4

Its perfectly normal don't worry about it that much if your period starts at first it will be irregular which means  the first moth you have it and the next month you don't...

Answer 5

Dont worry i had that in ... fifth grade when we saw the movie and i dident get my first period untill the summer going into seventh grade. If you are showing other signs like hair in new places(i dont no how to word that) thats whenn you start also the movie we saw about puberty said u get it about 2 years after you get b***s. DONT BE SCARED im 12 and i have it and it is no big deal REALLY  

Answer 6

its normal, I'm not sure if that means your period is coming but it may. your 13 it will come soon anyways. Well good luck. Having a period isn't that bad you can handle it.  

Answer 7

It might not mean your starting your period, Not being horrible or anything if you get touched ina certain way (if you know what i'm saying) a & things like that discharge can appeared.

Sorry if it sounded bad.

Answer 8

It's hormones the white stuff it's vaginal discharge that start at puberty, not necessarily related to period, it's different. That's why you still don't have your period, you'll get it when it's time, relax and enjoy while you don't have it. It's way better I remember.

Answer 9

It depends on the person. I had it for two years before my period. Some have it for a year. Some get it immeadiatly before. Some don't get it at all.

Answer 10

Yes, the appearance of discharge is a good clue that you're starting puberty and you're period will start soon. But don't be scared, you're growing up! Just remember to be prepared. Alert your mum or dad that you think you're period will start soon so they can go out and buy the right supplies for when it does happen. And don't wear white for a while! :)

Answer 11

I am not a nurse, but consider myself experienced based on the fact I am a girl.  You say you are 13 and have not had your period yet.  If you are getting that 'streaky white gooey' discharge in your panties, that's ok.  You're body is preparing, or practicing if you will, to have a period. Usually when most girls first get their period it is very light and you can wear pantyliners.  Just relax, as I told my 10 year old when she got her period.  Look around you, see all the girls, all of us have gone through this. Its ok. Sometimes its weird talking to your Mom (StepMom or whatever) but especially your Dad, I found it easier to talk to one of my friends Moms, she understood.

Chin up it will all be ok
