Is it normal to have red old blood and is it normal to have cramping when old blood is returning because I'm experiencing both of those? My period ended last Wednesday/Thursday. Yesterday I noticed very light pink spotting when wiping. Today when wiping, it was brown and red (45% brown 55% red). I have absolutely no discharge, just this bleeding. Glow says I'm supposed to ovulate around next Tuesday but I don't have any discharge or cramping to show for it. Instead I have AF bleeding along with lower back cramps. During ovulation I usually have white creamy lotion like discharge leading up to the day that I ovulate then it's usually clear & stringy with some blood mixed in and I have cramping in one of my ovaries.
