White dischage is completely normal in a women. Women experience this all throughout the day. When the discharge turns to a clear color, that means you are ovulating. You only need to worry if it has a yellow or green color which could mean an infection.

White discharge is usually normal, and is often seen during non-fertile times in a woman's cycle. If it is tinged green, smells bad, or is accompanied by pain or irritation, it could be related to an infection.
