Bleeding on Honeymoon When I Shouldn't be?!

Hoping someone can help me figure out what's going on 😕

I've attached my chart, I thought I was around 4DPO and that I had ovulated CD29, the day after my wedding! I came off the pill in April and so far my cycles have been 30 days (4/5 day luteal phase), 37 days (same short luteal phase), 55 days with a 12/14ish day luteal phase. I'm on CD33 today and my temp went up this morn, but I woke up to find blood when I wipe. It's bright red and I've continued to have blood every time I go to the loo. Feel like I have very slight cramps too. I missed two temps recently as that was the night before my wedding and then my wedding night. As you can see I carried on having EWCM after FF's predicted ovulation date, and it stopped on Monday, hence why I thought I ovulated on Sunday and was 4DPO. My nipples were sore on Monday too, which I've had in the past, I assumed this was after ovulation, but am now wondering if it's something I get before AF.

Any ideas what might be going on? Can't work out whether I ovulated and am having a really short luteal phase again (which doesn't make a lot of sense after a nice long one last time) or whether it was perhaps an anovulatory cycle, or maybe this isn't AF at all as temp didn't drop? Feeling confused and worried, didn't expect to be dealing with this theee days into our honeymoon!

@MintGreenLife the dotted lines means FF isn't sure when you've ovulated and it's more likely guessing because of the big drop in temp alongside still having the EWCM. It's possible an earlier date could have been ovulation and this is now AF arriving which would make the luteal phase normal length. Perhaps between CD16-20

@MintGreenLife P.S congratulations on the wedding 🥰

thanks @Stabal :) do you think that's possible considering I had EWCM so late into my cycle? I had that happen last cycle too - two weeks of EWCM! And same thing, not clear on when I ovulated and continued to get EWCM after FF's predicted ovulation date. I did have very clear high temps though, unlike this cycle. All so confusing!

@MintGreenLife yeah definitely possible. Some people have EWCM after ovulation even though it's not typical. Different CM can appear at any time in the cycle really. I know those temps aren't substantial with the rises but there's definitely a slight shift after CD16 and there doesn't always necessarily need to be a huge change so I would think that's what's happening! The big dip was probably due to estrogen which is totally normal too. I hope you can enjoy the rest of your honeymoon!

@Stabal hmm who knows what's going on then! I guess it's better to think I ovulated earlier rather than worrying about a short luteal phase or anovulatory cycle. Fingers crossed things will be clearer/better next cycle x
