What is a normal vaginal discharge?
What is the normal vaginal discharge color and thickness. Why is my discharge always different its sometimes white, yellowish, thick, thin, watery, and sometimes thick and sticky and before and after period its brownish. I am wondering if its all normal.
That is your normal cycle. The cycle changes and so does the hormones changing the type of discharge. The clear egg white stringy thick and sticky is when you have ovulated. You might like to keep a chart and you will notice very soon, that your cycle is telling you when you are about to have a period or ovulate. This is used by many women as a birth control method, (not 100% reliable if you have only just started learning!)
You will often find that right before your period starts it is very dry and almost chalky. Then you might get a discharge of a light brown. This is because the blood leaving the uterus doesn't just come out like a tap, but takes a couple of days to travel through the cervix and out the vagina.
Rest assured you are normal. Only if it becomes smelly or always stays a certain colour should you worry.
