Hey Sosô, what does it mean when you go to the bathroom and notice a white discharge, and a few days ago you saw a transparent discharge, and on May 15th it was your first period, but the second one didn't come and you've never had sex with anyone and you're having cramps?

That clear or white discharge is just normal vaginal discharge, and it's completely normal for your body to produce it during puberty. Also, it's very common for the second period to take a while to come after the first one.

Clear, white, or whitish discharge is normal in puberty and can start a few months before the first period. It might look a bit yellowish when it dries on your underwear. It changes throughout the month because of hormones, sometimes more liquid and clear, sometimes whiter and thicker. Tell an adult if it starts to be a different color (like bright yellow, green, or gray), changes smell or texture, increases a lot, or comes with itching, burning, pain when peeing, or stomach pain.

About the delayed period and cramps

In the first year or two, it's normal for cycles to vary, roughly from 20 to 45 days from the start of one period to the start of the next. A cycle that's shorter or longer than the previous one, on its own, is not a cause for concern. Stress can also delay your period. Tell an adult if, several times in a row, it takes longer than 45 days between periods, if you go 3 months without a period after it has started, or if, several times in a row, there are less than about 3 weeks between periods.

These cramps you're feeling might be your uterus working because your period is preparing to come, or just normal changes in your cycle. There are medicines that help with cramps, and an adult decides whether you take one, which one and how much, for your age and weight. A heating pad, or a hot water bottle wrapped in a towel and filled by an adult, can also help (in some small studies, heat helped as much as medication). Tell an adult straight away if the pain is strong, is on one side (especially low on the right), keeps getting worse, or comes with a fever or being sick. Also tell an adult if it stops you doing normal things like going to school, if it doesn't get better with the medicine an adult gives you, or if it gets worse from one period to the next.
