I started my period last Sunday. I bled a little the first day then it was barely there the second day. On the third day I was bleeding like normal period and was done the fourth day. About 2 days later I went to wipe and there was some brown blood which I know is "old blood" but that lasted for about 4 or 5 days. Now for the past couple of days I have had a stringy clear discharge tinged with blood. Sometimes there is just a little blood and sometimes it is like a little blood clot. Every once in a while I will get mild cramps. I have no idea what this could be because I have never had this with any of my periods before. Does anyone have any idea what is going on?

Hi! The color and thickness of the discharge changes with your monthly cycle. The discharge is thicker when you ovulate (when one of your ovaries releases an egg), when you breastfeed or when you're sexually excited. During your period, menstrual blood mixes with the discharge. And you already know that. Changes that may signal that something is wrong include an increase in the amount of discharge, a change in the color or smell of the discharge, and irritation, itchiness or burning in or around your vagina. This is called vaginitis. A discharge that's stained with blood when you're not having your period could also be a sign of a problem. These signs may need to be checked by your doctor. These changes can occur if the normal balance of healthy bacteria in your vagina is upset. Many things can disturb the balance of a healthy vagina, including douching, feminine hygiene sprays, certain soaps or bubble baths, antibiotics, diabetes, pregnancy, infections, aging and intercourse. I hope this will help you.
