Question
I'm nearly 13, haven't got my period yet and have been having white discharge. But now brown discharge, is this okay?
Answer
OK and even perfect. The brown discharge is likely just your body gearing up for your period to start, consider it practice. Wear a pad, consider putting together a New Moon Pack so you are ready whever your heavier period starts, and relax - it will come when it is ready. You can mark the brown discharge on a calender and see if it happens again in about 28 days--that would be your cycle. Good luck!
