Question
I'm 13 and I have a yeast infection and I have develop breat and hair under my underarm and in my area down there and now i'm having clear gooey discharge from my vigina. I have know idea what it is how can I check if im on my womanhood cycle?
Answer
Well aren't you having a not-so-fun time. If the question is when will you period start, the answer is within the year if it has not already. The clear gooey discharge means you are ovulating (about mid-cycle), so if you are already having periods, it would likely start within two weeks. If you do not have periods yet, then your system is getting to ready to start! Remember to drink 64 ounces of water a day, eat a well-balanced diet and sleep enough to feel your best! Good luck!
