All women have discharge, varying in amount by when you are in your cycle. You are completely normal to be experiencing this.
If it bothers you then you can wear a pantyliner daily. Please do not wear a tampon as it can remove the good bacteria in your vagina (by drying it and then ripping it out) and cause an infection.
Different Discharges:
1. Before ovulation- There will be a little amount of mostly clear discharge.
2. Closer to ovulation- Discharge is moist and sticky. It is white/lightly cream colored. There is some mucus but it isn't as stretchy as it will be during ovulation.
3. At ovulation (roughly 14 days from your last period)- There will be a noticeably larger amount of discharge for a couple of days. It resembles egg whites and is stretchy. You are most fertile here (high risk pregnancy) and sperm entering your vagina at this time will be able to survive slightly longer than other times.
4. After ovulation- Discharge is sticky but not stretchy. Mostly clear, dwindling back to the "before ovulation" stage.
* The discharge you get when you have a yeast infection is quite different.
Vaginal yeast infections cause itching and burning, the white discharge may look similar to cottage cheese, pain during sexual intercourse, and swelling of the vulva. The discharge smells somewhat yeasty from what I've read. If you have never had one before and you suspect you do now, then you need to see your doctor for a proper diagnosis.
* Bacterial vaginosis (overgrowth of bacteria in your vagina) also means a change in your normal discharge. Many women experience an increase in discharge and a very unpleasant fishy odor; however, some women do not experience anything odd.
Remember, vaginal infections, medications, and birth control can all alter the appearance of your discharge.
If you feel that something is really not normal then it's best to see your doctor. A doctor will be able to tell you if what you're experiencing is totally normal discharge or if something is going wrong.

This is most likely nothing to be worried about. Normal discharge is clear/whitish, and can dry to a very pale yellow color. I would recommend using panty liners throughout the day, to absorb discharge.
However, as the previous answer mentions, you should consider seeing your doctor about it just in case, in order to rule anything out. Also, if anything is wrong, they can discuss it with you, and again (as the answer below says) prescribe antibiotics if needed. Be sure to see a doctor ASAP, just to be sure.

Yes it is very normal. I used to have the same problem, and i had it all the time even when i was on my period. I still dont know what its from but i went to the doctors it was a bacteria infection (its also common in a yeast infection so it could be either one). It was just my body developing and it just happens during the development- thats how the doctor explained it to me. But i would go to the doctors if i was you because it needs to be taken care of so it doesnt get any worse, and you can get rid of it. I was put on antibotics, and it went away within a week. Hope this helped- good luck.

If you dont have your period that means your about to get your period. If you already have your period I dont know why it happens I just know its normal. Good luck, I hope I helped and stay healthy.
