This should help answer all your questions.
Yep, that's what happens.
Once you start puberty a white and/or clear wet mucus discharge is normal. In my day they just called it discharge, now they call it cervical mucus/leukorrhea. It's part of the female reproductive cycle. The vagina is self-cleaning. This same discharge increases the closer you get to ovulation and when you are sexually aroused. Trust me, you don't ever want it to go away. It is what makes sex possible. You will also have your own unique musky scent and it will smell stronger to you than to others. Alcohol, drugs, cigarettes, illness, medication and even diet can effect your scent.
You can have this normal discharge for weeks, months or even years before getting your first period. It will also continue after you get your period, after puberty and for the rest of your life. Some girls do produce more discharge than others. You can wear a pantyliner if it bothers you. The amount and consistency can vary due to hormones, diet, water intake, exercise, illness and medication.
Your normal white/clear discharge will turn yellow or dry yellow when exposed to air. If it is coming out yellow, then you probably have a bacterial infection and need to see a doctor.
Different Types of Discharge:
White: Thick, white discharge is common at the beginning and end of your cycle. Normal white discharge is not accompanied by itching. If itching is present, thick white discharge can indicate a yeast infection.
Clear and stretchy: This is "fertile" mucous and means you are ovulating.
Clear and watery: This occurs at different times of your cycle and can be particularly heavy after exercising.
Yellow or Green: May indicate an infection, especially if thick or clumpy like cottage cheese or has a foul odor.
Spotting Blood/Brown Discharge: May happen right after periods, and is just "cleaning out" your vagina. Old blood looks brown. This may occur when you are ovulating/mid-cycle.
Different types of infections, which a girl can get at any time:
Signs of yeast infections:
White, cottage cheese-like discharge
Swelling and pain around the vulva
Intense itching
Buy Monistat 7 over-the-counter
Signs of bacterial vaginosis:
A white, gray or yellowish vaginal discharge
A fishy odor that is strongest after sex or after washing with soap
Itching or burning
Slight redness and swelling of the vagina or vulva
See a doctor

You can have this normal discharge for weeks, months or even years before you get your first period. Some girls over-produce discharge. Most of us do not have the discharge every day 24/7.

Sometimes there is natural discharge that comes out during the day, and when it's left outside the oxygen makes it turn yellow, I think your vagina is just doing that. Your period will be most likely brown when u first get it, the discharge is normal, I started getting it mostly when I was around 10-12 , if it gets to be alot and ruins the underwear, u can wear panty liners on a daily basis, that's what I have to do.

this is called discharge. It is pretty discusting at first but you get used to it. It is only there to "rinse" out or clean your vagina. If you want to (my reccomondation) wear a thin light pantyliner everyday. This is just another aspect of girls puberty. And i had discharge for almost 2 years before i started my period (but this may be different for every girl). When you get your period you will know, but just to be prepaired maybe carry around a pad everyday with you to school. (just in case) I hoped this helps, otherwise this website helped me alot:

the white sticky stuff is called a discharge. it's your body's way of cleaning itself out. it's perfectly normal. many girl have this from 2 weeks to 2 years before they get their period. i've have mine for like 7 months, and i get mine everyday now. it's gross but it's normal. im 14 years old and i still dont have my period, so dont worry. just make sure the discharge is white/yellowish and milky. &your fine. ;)

That would be vaginal discharge in your underwear ..not sure if you have an infection or not. But if you have cramps along with it too, then yes, your probably starting to get your period.
