Re: Discharge during period
Sounds normal to me. During ovulation (so mid-cycle) you normally will get a lot of this type of discharge, so maybe it is leftover from that and as your womb lining is now being shed, the discharge is coming out too. I get a lot of this kind of clear, thick discharge during ovulation myself.
As long as a discharge isn't a weird colour or smelly, it is generally pretty normal. Our hormones do all kinds of random things, so try not to worry!

Yes this happens to me some periods
Re: Discharge during period
Thank you both for your replies. I know I get this type of discharge during ovulation but I just can't remember if I've also seen it during my period. I didn't notice it today, so that was good.
My period also lightened off today but then tonight it got heavy again. Trying to stay calm about that now, as it normally wouldn't get heavy again once it started to ease. I guess I'll just wait and see what the next few days brings but it doesn't help knowing that I can't go running to the doctor if I need to. I think that fear is playing in the back of my mind all the time.
Re: Discharge during period
How old are you? I've read this can happen during perimenopause because your estrogen levels can be higher than usual during your actual period. It's nothing to worry about, just normal hormonal fluctuation with age. This was the first sign to me that I may be in peri (I'm 37).
