How long before your period after discharge?

Answer 1

I am not sure what you mean by discharge.

When a woman speaks about discharge, she usually means cervical mucus that the vagina constantly produces. This mucus protects the vagina (and uterus) from germs and diseases. The discharge will change over the course of her menstrual cycle, changing colour and texture when she is fertile (around ovulation).

If you are young and haven't had your period, you should still be producing cervical mucus to keep your vagina moist and free of bacteria and germs that could cause infections. Just because you are producing mucus, it is not indicative that your periods are about to start.

When your period starts is due to genetic factors and diet. Ask you mum or sisters when they started their period as a indicator of when you period will start. It is also shown that starting your period is linked to your weight. Larger girls will start earlier than skinny girls as you need to have reached a certain amount of body fat before your body thinks it is able to support a pregnancy.

Answer 2

It depends on your health. Your body decides. I know i had mine for over a year. I've heard stories of people having it for over two years. you should start your period between the ages of 8-18. But everybody is different so don't worry.

Answer 3

for me, it was about 1-8 months. But don't worry, your period won't be that bad. Discharge doesn't seem to go away from what I've heard, so that sux. but, don't let it stop you. Ever. You may have discharge longer than expected, but that's normal according 2 my friends. hope this helped!!! And good luck!!!

Answer 4

You start to get discharge as you enter puberty - there's no direct corelation between getting discharge and getting your first period as both are changes that happen during puberty, however you can expect your first period within four years of starting puberty.

You may notice changes to discharge leading up to your first period - typically 2-3 weeks before menstruation you get fertile cervical mucus which is clear and stretchy like egg-whites, then 1-2 weeks before menstruation your discharge will get heavier and while more like lotion or cream. A few days before menses you may get 'spotting' which is pink or brown discharge, a result of light menstrual bleeding mixing with discharge.

Answer 5

It could be a while. A year even. It all depends on how mature the rest of your body is. When you will get your period also depends on genetics. You might have an idea of when you'll get it from your mom and older sister (if you have one).
