Can someone help me work out my cycle?

Long post, sorry. So, I have endometrial cysts and PCOS, the combination of which means my cycles are generally all over the place. I track my dates by waiting until I get EWCM and then AF turns up like clockwork about 15 days later. I do get the occasionally cycle which I assume is anovulatory, where they are v long with no EWCM, but usually it's just my FP takes ages, then boom.

Since we've been TTC (since Jan) I've been taking a supplement and my cycles had been almost regular for the first time in years - but I think it was just coincidence. This month has been bonkers and I can't work out what's going on. Can anyone help?!

So, I'm currently on CD42. I thought I was still waiting to ovulate - had had some interchanging creamy and watery CM last week, then more watery this, so thought was finally gearing up for ovulation. Was pleased for DP is here this weekend so perfect timing.

DTD yesterday morning, then when I went to the loo, I had a pinkish tinge when I wiped. Thought cycle must have been anovulatory after all, so put a pad on and sulked a bit.

But the bleeding didn't pick up, and when i went to the loo before bed, there was loads of EWCM, but streaked with a bit of red blood (tiniest bit).

This morning, there's browny discharge.

WTF is going on?! I don't think it can be implantation cos I'm getting ovu type symptoms. Could it be ovulation bleeding? Never had it before and don't know how much there is? Or maybe just leftover blood from my chocolate cyst?!

Have you done an opk? It could be ovulation bleed.

I've never used them, because they're unreliable in PCOS due to fluctuating FSH. But can you get more than just a wipe's worth of blood on ovulation? It would make sense with the EWCM I guess?

I can't say I've had it. But I've heard other ladies have had it. Or possibly if you DTD maybe just irritated cervix?

I think it was just a slow start...have cramps now, and more blood. But embarrassed I started a whole thread now Blush
