Hi I am not a dr but it sounds like normal discharge. Every woman has diffferent discharge at different times of the month. For example around the time you ovulate it becomes thin, clear, stringy, and sometimes more abundent than other times. That makes it a safe enviroment for sperm to swim in and fertilize the egg. Hope this helps and Merry Christmas. Jolene
