These discharges that precede the clear menstrual blood are not considered menstruation; rather, they are istihada (non-menstrual vaginal bleeding), which necessitates performing (washing the private parts) and wudu (ablution) for prayer. Consequently, your fast is valid, and you are not required to repeat it.
