this is kinda gross =\


Sorry to only post when asking odd questions..but...

I'm on my period, on the second day. I was changing my pad earlier, and when I went to go wipe myself, I was horrified to see stringy mucus and blood clots kind of..hanging from me. I know blood clots are normal, but mucus? Maybe this is because I just started?
It kind of freaked me out..

vaginas are mucus membranes, much like, um, our noses and eyes. normal discharge during the month is basically thin mucus. in natural family planning methods, one is taught to read the thickness of cervical or vaginal mucus to determine fertility. so, this mucus doesn't go away when you bleed. it just comes out with the blood.
