Sorry to post again but I'm at such a loss and don't know who else to ask.
So Monday 18th I had pale pink discharge which I half hoped could be implantation bleeding.
However the next day a bowel movement caused a bright red bleed which I assumed was my period starting despite being almost a week early.
The bleeding tapered off and Wednesday and Thursday turned into brown spotting.
Friday 22nd I passed a clot which was followed by bright red, literally dripping but then EWCM started to show...lots of it, mixed into the blood until eventually I was just having heavy EWCM with red blood streaks until there was nothing at all.
Sat 23rd I bled heavy red again. By Monday 25th my period was definitely over and we had sex on the 26th.
The next morning I had EWCM with small bright red streaks.
There has been nothing since but yesterday I was ill feeling sick with lightheadedness. Today I feel fine but my stomach is tender and my lower back aches a lot - I went to the toilet earlier and saw this when I wiped and it looks like implantation bleeding but I know it can't be as the timings don't work out. If I assume the first day of bleeding was Day 1 of my cycle then I'm only day 12 right now and I can't even have ovulated.
Has anyone else had random months in their cycle like this or anyone had spotting like this? What else could it be? Because it can't be implantation ,no matter how strongly I wished.
Sorry for gross picture and oversharing!
