Hi,
An increase in thick white discharge is pretty common a day or two before your period starts, during pregnancy, at puberty, or during breastfeeding. Are you on any oral contraceptives? That could also contribute to an increase in discharge. If it doesn't itch, burn, or there is no foul odor to it, it should be perfectly normal. However if it persists and really bothers you, then it can't hurt to be checked by a doctor just to make sure all is well and to ease your mind. Good luck to you :)
