Hi!
If you were my patient, I would test you for STIs and also for yeast and bacterial vaginosis. Often physiologic or "normal" discharge is whitish and increases in amount and gets "thicker" right before the period--so you may be just having "normal" discharge. I would go by what the tests showed, but would guess that it is nothing too serious.
Good luck!
