Okay, so I'm honestly confused on what's happening in my body right now. I have PCOS so my cycles are usually anywhere from 32-35 days long. AF was supposed to arrive (according to Glow) on this past Thursday. On Friday morning, I had a small amount of bright red blood on the toilet paper when I wiped but then nothing after that all the rest of that day or yesterday.

This morning (Sunday) I woke up with such intense and painful cramps that I was barely functional until the ibuprofen kicked in. These were by far the worst cramps I've ever had in my life. However, they were accompanied by strangely light bleeding considering how much pain I was in. I'm still using tampons but whenever I switch them out, I'm noticing that there's both brown and bright red blood on them at the same time and the parts that are red are basically a whole bunch of smallish blood clots.

Not sure if this matters but my husband and I had sex on Oct. 26 but haven't since then due to conflicting work schedules.

I'm just not sure why it's so different this month, why I've had cramps this crippling and intense with little actual bleeding, why there are so many blood clots, etc. Sorry if any of this is TMI. Can anyone offer any information about this? Similar situations?? Please help!
