Sounds normal. Discharge varies in consistency, especially around the time of your period.
If it's not a strange colour or doesn't have an odour, don't worry.

Female bodies have something called 'cervical mucus'. This is fancy talk for discharge. Basically, as your body goes through your cycle every month, the type of discharge you get will also be going through a cycle. This is natural and is supposed to happen.
If you have not yet got your period, this might be a sign that you will soon. If you already get your period, pay attention during the month and you'll probably start to notice a pattern. Many women find it useful to have a calender - you can circle when you get your periods, and write on when you get discharge or moody. This way, you know what to expect, as well as what is normal for your body.

Do you get it right before your period? If so, it's totally normal. Discharge in general, is normal. If it really is bothering you, you can wear a pantyliner. Or, if it gets really bad, you can visit the doctor.
