discharge question

so I normally have smooth creamy discharge up until a day before my period n I'm about half way If not a little more than half way through my cycle n I had the creamy white discharge but there was a clump of clear ish white it had like a refrigerator burnt texture it stretched a little discharge it wasnt big at all but I thought it was weird because just prior to that I had some cramping that's wasnt like horrible but it caught my attention it was like period cramps? I have never had this prior to now and I dont know what to think any help advise or knowledge would be awsome thank you would
