Anyone else?

Just wondering, does anyone else ever have signs that a period might be “heavy” or “light”? For me, if I’m cramping a whole week before and having back pain, I know it’ll be a painful and heavy flow. But if I have no symptoms, it’s usually so light I never go beyond liners.

Also, does anyone ever seem to produce thicker, wetter discharge in greater amounts during this time? For some reason, I do. How do I get around this? It’s annoying because it makes stains in my panties...
