Question
I have not gotten my period yet, but I've been getting a white discharge for almost 4 months..is this normal?
Answer
It is perfectly normal. The vaginal discharge all women experience helps clean the vagina and is tied to our hormones. For about a year before you actually start to bleed each month your hormones are cycling, creating the discharge that might be a little sticky in your panties each day - do not worry.
