The discharge that cleared is fine. With respect to your periods every
3 months, you have the option of just watching the cycles to make sure
they're at least every 3-4 months or see your doctor and do blood tests
to get the exact reason. Both ways are resonable at this time.
Hope this helps and write back anytime for more information.
