Red/Dark brown discharge

Hi, I'm 14 years old and I haven't started my period yet. Lately, I've been getting some clear discharge, alot. But since two days ago, I've been getting a lot of dark brown discharge with like red stringy things in it as well. It passes with my wee and it ends up all over my knickers :s Sometimes I get lower abdominal pain.
Is this a sign that I'm soon going to start my period or what? please help me.

That it is indeed the start of your period! Mine started with just LOTS of brown discharge, which freaked me out because I'd never seen that before. It's completely normal though.

You are definately about to start your period. The brown color means it is a little blood that didnt come out immediately. its really not as much blood as u think...its just mixed with discharge. as for the burning and itching and increased discharge, u could possibly have a yeast infection. with this being ur 1st time u should speak with a parent or an adult u really trust. I have 2 daughters about ur age. dont b emberassed...its just part of life :) GOOD LUCK!
