Scarleteen

I'm supposed to be starting my period in about a week but when I got to the bathroom and wipe there's little orange/red balls of something. I have no idea what they are. I don't know if that means my periods coming sooner or not. I'm confused.

Hi Janelle,

I'd take a look at this article to see if any of the descriptions match what you're seeing Honorably Discharged: A Guide to Vaginal Secretions . If this type of discharge is one you've never seen before, has a bad smell, and is accompanied by any other symptoms (like pain) then it's sound to check in with a healthcare provider to see what's going on.

You mentioned tracking your period. Are you using an app to track it, or the Fertility Awareness Method?
