‘Odd’ period, any thoughts?

Just wondered if anyone had any thoughts for any reasons behind this or if it’s just one of those things?
On last cycle I had light spotting which would come and go DPO10-12 so thought it could be implantation bleeding as don’t usually spot for more than a few hours before AF. Late on 13DPO AF arrived properly and was heavier than it has been for the first 3 days since coming off mini pill at Christmas. Didn’t think too much of this as could still be cycles settling back down to normal so maybe having lighter ones than ‘normal’ the last few months. Period then stuck around for a lot longer than usual, only light and often stained brown old looking blood but even last night at CD7/8 there was a brown ‘blob’ when wiping. Usually by CD5/6 there’d be nothing.

Is it maybe just cycles still settling down? Could it be an indication of a v early loss (never got a BFP and did test at 10 and 12 DPO but only with cheap tests not early ones). Know it doesn’t really matter either way but just wondering if could have been a loss of a fertilised egg as at least I’d know that bit of the process had ‘worked’ and have also heard you can be more fertile after an early loss so would give me some hope back for this cycle after testing positive for Covid on CD7! Thanks if you’ve read my ramble this far!

I am having the same thought atm not had a period in 2 months but didnt think anything of it as am v.irregular but that came on at the weekend however even when i do have a period they normally only last a couple of days and are quite light but am now on day 5 of a really heavy one with more cramping and have noticed a few small clots so starting to wonder if this could be a v.early miscarriage instead of a period as its totally different to what i normally have

Have you had the Covid jab recently? It messed with my periods.

No, had my booster in mid December. Have tested positive for Covid, potentially was infected mid way through my cycle but unlikely to have had it at the beginning with the spotting. We are cracking on with SMEP this week so fingers crossed!

Sorry to hear you’re confused too @Tracy245! Hope this next cycle is lucky for you
