Okay so my discharge is changing it’s thicker think I mean about once a month it gets thicker I think it might be my body doing practice runs and I think I mm gonna get my period do tomorrow the next day or the next day

Okay, so it sounds like you're noticing your discharge changing and you're wondering if that means your period is super close. You're definitely on the right track!

What you're describing, where your discharge gets thicker around once a month, totally fits with what your body does before your period. It's not exactly a "practice run" for your period itself, but more like a signal that your hormones are shifting, which is what makes your period happen. Your body is just getting ready.

What it means

When your discharge gets thicker and sometimes a bit cloudy or creamy, that usually means you're in the second half of your cycle, after ovulation, and your period could be coming in the next week or two. Sometimes it’s just a few days before, sometimes a bit longer. It's one of those signs that your body is moving towards its period, like checking items off a list. It really lets you know your body is doing all the period prep stuff.

What you can do

Keep observing your discharge, because it's a really cool way to understand your cycle! You can also look out for other signs that your period is coming up, like if you're feeling more tired, a little moody, or maybe some mild cramps. Carrying a few pads or period undies in your bag can help you feel ready, just in case.

If you want a clearer idea of when your first period might arrive based on all the signs, there's a quiz on this site that can help: how close is my first period?
