    Question

    I am 14, about to be 15 this month, and have yet to start my period. I have had clear vaginal discharge for a tiny bit for over a year, which I understand to be normal. In April I had four straight days of heavy brown discharge, but no blood. Now almost exactly a month later, I had the same discharge but for only two days. What is this?

    Answer

    My vote is that it is your period! Congrats! Keep track and it will figure itself out! You might also pay attention to how you feel week three. If it is the same, you are having a cycle! Take good care of yourself!
