And even for adult women, our cycles can vary month to month. Some women bleed heavily, some women don't, some people have full 7 day cycles, and some only three.
Having discharge is perfectly normal - it's the vagina's way of cleaning itself. As long as it's not discolored or has an odor, there's likely no issue.
Moreover, all periods are different. If you feel as though you have a problem though, you should consult with a gynecologist. [ snarky's advice column | Ask snarky A Question ]

Hope i helped :) [ Katlyn's advice column | Ask Katlyn A Question ]
