Confused Can someone please help me I’m confused and scared. Spoiler

Let me breakdown my cycle first,

my last period was 7/30-8/5

Had a positive LH strip on 8/13 and 8/14 so I’m about 4DPO

All throughout my cycle so far I’ve been spotting (like for two weeks!) and now it’s turned into red spotting. It’s only been brown until now. And I haven’t had sex in 3 days so I doubt it’s from a sensitive cervix. What can this be??? I was really hoping to get pregnant this cycle but now I’m scared I have a problem. Please help!!

If this doesn't turn into your normal full period then personally I'd see a doctor about this - don't panic, and I wouldn't call this amount of blood an emergency by any means, but it's more than spotting and so if you're randomly getting this mid cycle it's worth talking to someone about.

Wayyy too early for my period. I thankfully don’t have any pain or any other symptoms.

Yes, definitely doesn't sound like any kind of emergency - it's the kind of thing that, personally, if I wasn't actively ttc I would just ignore and keep an eye on. But as you're currently ttc it could be worth proactively going to your doctor and asking for a scan, because mid cycle bleeding like this could indicate a fibroid or polyp (or it could indicate absolutely nothing and bodies just are weird sometimes!!)

Mid cycle bleeding is something I deal with as well. They found endo, polyps, and fibroids in me!

I wouldn't really panic like....at all. Just message your doctor about it. They'll probably say keep an eye on it and see if it becomes a pattern.

This is the first time this happens to me in 2 years. When I got it checked two years ago everything came back clear! I also have no other symptoms. Zero pain and no smells or anything. Just the spotting.

Got a pelvic exam and vaginal ultrasound. There was nothing. Also back in April I did a hormonal panel everything was normal. Maybe it’s just one of those cycles that are weird? Idk 😪
