Question

Short and light AF... should this be CD1?... Please don't scroll by

OK, sorry but TMI alert... so I had a short and light AF starting with light brown Tuesday 28th Aug (CD26) early evening turning to red/brown Wednesday with cramping and back ache then Thursday almost nothing brown and red, not even covering the tip of the tampon. Friday light brown but only occasionally when I wiped. This is unusual for me.
I feeling pregnant, I have lots of aching and fullness in my abdomen today I tried a HPT which was a grocery store cheapie which was negative.
I mc 26th Jun had a dark AF 26th July for 5 days so this is my 2nd cycle since mc.
Should I count this as CD1?
Should I see my GP / Doctor about my messy cycle?
Should I request a blood test?
Any stories and advice greatly needed please

I think it's hard to say what the bleeding is, but it could be implantation bleeding according to what I've read. Do you know when you ovulated this cycle? That might help interpret what's happening with your body, especially if you know how long your typical luteal phase is.

The timing would be right for ovulation as the opks had my peak I think on 7th and 8th August. If it was af it arrived at least a day early if not 2 days earlier than expected.
