Yes: It's normal to have changes in discharge and to sometimes have a slight odor. If it seems unusual to you, get checked to be sure you don't have an std or a bacterial infection.

Yes: If getting a slight odor and vaginal discharge just before the period happens most of the time that is normal for you. Sometimes women can get a vaginal infection, but with that most women get vaginal itching, irritation, sometimes a fishy odor and discharge that is different than usual.
