My discharge is looking a little pink. I haven't gotten my period yet. Is that normal?

Okay, so like, for your discharge to be a little pinkish when you haven't had your period yet? Yeah, that's literally totally normal and actually kind of exciting because it's a sign your first period might be coming soon!

Sometimes before your period actually starts, you might see some light pink or brownish discharge. It's just a little bit of blood mixing with your regular discharge, and it's your body getting ready. It's like a sneak peek, you know? Your body is literally just preparing for its big debut, and this is one of the ways it tells you. It doesn't mean anything is wrong, just that things are happening down there.

Keep an eye on it. You can wear a pantyliner just in case it gets a little heavier, so you don't have to worry. And if you're curious about how close your period might be, there's a quiz on this site that helps you figure it out: how close is my first period?
