Question

I had light bleeding/spotting for six days on CD 16. Could that have possibly been my period?

I usually have a 29 day cycle but I thought it strange how I spotted continuously for 6 straight days..... When I say spotting, the blood was only visible when I wiped and was bright red with clear cm. I am so confused as to whether I miscalculated my cycle.

Hi

I am normally on a 26 day cycle but my previous cycle I started spotting on CD14 for 4-5 days and then it went away. That cycle was 32 days which is very unusual and long for me. Not sure why it happened and never had it before but I think it was just a wonky cycle for me.

This cycle (after the 32 days) I ovulated 3 days earlier than usual and nearly missed it as I normally use a opk from CD 10 and this one I started on CD8 so got a positive the next day. Go figure :)

Good luck

My af came on cycle day 22 ( im usuaslly 25 or 28 day) it started late saturday afternoon dark red blood then went a rusty colour but was bright red when wiped, I half filled 4 towels in 48 hours , I could of used less but obviously heigiene.
Usually I would change it 4 times per day ( my af is quite light compared to few people I kno) monday was just spotting but still red when wiped so only needed a panty liner all day. Just brown discharge till thursday nothin at all friday, light brown creamy cm saturday streaks of lightbrown on sunday :/ very very odd period for me. I usually bleed heavy one day medium next light 3rd then brown cm 4th day then completely stop. Its never dragged on for 8 days. I suppose we all av a weird cycle at some point.
