and about your discharge, usually the week before you get your period or right before you get your period, your discharge comes out heavier because it is cleaning and getting ready to release an egg or get you pregnant [if you were sexually active, but its good that youre not :)]
some symptoms that hint to when youre getting it are:
- lower back-aches
- frequent headaches
- bloating
- fever
- cramps
- spotting [like little spots of blood or dried blood.]
- a good amount of discharge
- sore boobs [chest]
- swollen boobs [chest]
symptoms when having your period:
- cramps
- bloating
- fever
- back-aches
- your breasts become less tender
- your breasts become less swollen
- blood
- you may feel weak from time to time because of the blood loss [but this usually only happens if you lose alot of blood and its your first time getting your period]
both are similar, but thats how you know ! :] good luck, hope i helped, and if you need anything else, feel free to inbox me ! xxo.
EDIT:
are you kidding me hun ?! i was just as curious about this when i first started my period .. actually, even BEFORE i started. its good to be educated :] and everyone, including all fo your friends, are curious about these things, but arent open about it or like to talk about it. but trust me, they are all wondering the same things you are. so dont hesitate to ask me ANYTHING if you ever need some info :] i know how yuh feel girly <3 have a happy period ;] hahaa. oh and to reduce your cramps and stuff, either take advil or midol. they both work great for me ! xxo.
