So confused, a lil insight?

Ok, so my cycles have been messed up for a while and i seem to be having 2 periods a month for last few months, the last period i had on the 21st to the 23rd was lighter than the others. Yesterday i had some brown discharge with a lil bit of pink blood but only when i wiped, the night before that i had some cramping. I'm supposed to ovulate on September 4th. So does any of this make sense? I'm really lost as to what to think about the spotting.
Any ideas? I am also still cramping a little bit in the lower right abdomen.

Do you have a chart? Are you sure the light period was a period. It could be ovulation spotting or something like that. Are you coming off of birth control or anything like that?

How long have your cycles been like this?

I have been off of Birth Control since Feb of this year and my Cycles have been like this for about 3 months. No i don't have a chart because i cant tell what's a period and what's not if they all are and it's all messed up, i wouldn't know where to begin charting.

You can just begin charting anytime, even without a regular cycle. It will help you determine what's going on.

It's normal for your body to take up to 18 months to recover from birth control (unless it was Depo Provera). This kind of strange bleeding is pretty common during that recovery time.

It's possible to have bleeding with ovulation, it can even be heavy enough to mistake for menstruation. Charting will help you determine if the bleeding is menstruation, ovulation, or something else!

I agree with Shawna. I think you should start charting. I think if you were charting you would be able to tell what was going on when you were having this spotting. It could be from going off the pill or it could be ovulation spotting or something like that. I think in either case if you start charting you will know more.
