Premenstrual Syndrom: Depending on whether you have had this for a while, this can be normal. Your overall symptoms are related to PMS. If you only see the heavier discharge within the few days of your period, this is probably normal.

Discharge: It is very normal for the discharge to increase all the way up to the period. The mucus is associated with the hormones and make the cervix and vagina more hospitable for sperm. Mid cycle the mucus is very sticky and stretchy, a good sign of ovulation. The breasts also respond to the hormones and therefore hurt around the period.
