Does having the clear stuff (discharge) mean my period is coming

Dear Iris,

Lately I have noticed that I have a bit of clear (not blood!) stuff coming out from down there. Does this mean I'm about to start getting my period?

--Susie

Dear Susie,

There are a lot of things that have to happen before you start menstruating. The discharge you are experiencing from down there (the vagina) is one of those things. Other changes are breast development, hair under your arms and in your pubic area, and a growth spurt. Read the information in (About Me, Menstruation) for details on puberty and first menstruation.

Take care,

Iris
