    Question

    I've been noticing a mucuousy, thick clear discharge in the last few days (I won't get my period for another week and a half). Is this normal/how long will it last?

    Answer

    It is likely normal and only lasts a couple of days - and related to the hormones in the center of your cycle - that discharge is associated with you ovulating - letting go of an egg from your ovaries - and means you are very fertile - likely to get pregnant if sexually active.
