A member asked:

My period is late but am having some watery discharges instead is that suppose to happen before my period because this is the first time for me?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Possible: Every menstrual cycle may be slightly different. It depends on your egg follicle that is different every month. In a particular month when you do not ovulate, you make estrogen and there is lack of progesterone. This unopposed estrogen causes a watery discharge. It can happen 30% of the time. So, do not worry. It is normal.
