Hi,
I'm 13 to and I'm getting the same thing! It's nice to know I'm not alone. My doctor said I was supposed to start my period in 1 year but I'm afraid the white stains (called discharge) in my underwear is a sign I might be getting my period soon. I'm kinda scared but it also makes me feel more like a teenager!Health Question & Answer

White stains and discharge is normal. No way to tell if that is "pre period" or not. But be sure you are changing underwear & bathe everyday, and wear cotton ones. you could wear mini pads if you are worried. You will probably start your period soon, 13 is the average age. Good Luck!Health Question & Answer
