I have a 39 day menstrual cycle.

Period lasts around 5 days. Light in nature, very minor cramps. Normally fertile around the 18-21st day, so 3 weeks in... (for me). Have previously had blood tests and check ups due to my cycle length but was told it was "normal for me"

Last period was 20th aug, finished around the 25th.

Had protected sex(PS) on 29th aug and 4th Sep.

On morning of the 8th, I had a sharp shooting pain, felt like it went through my vagina. Lasted a few seconds then dissipated. On the evening, had PS, later that evening had clear discharge with light pink streak.

Next day, same shooting pain, self resolved, slept like a log.

On the 10th, few hours after PS, had blood upon wiping and then several episodes of brown discharge upon wiping. Until now, have had brown discharge/streaks which have lightened in colour and cramps.

I am a bit stuck on what it could be.

1. Small tear from sex? Even though it wasn't wild, it is a possibility.

2. Ovulation bleeding ?? Hormonal change

3. Ovarian cyst that could have ruptured- extreme but who knows...

4. Implantation bleeding, however, I havent ovulated yet and whilst you can get pregnant at any time, it feels unusual that it would happen so soon in my cycle.

My period would be due at the end of the month, so 26-28th and yes, my last period was a full 5-6 day proper period, not just spotting but a full "pad changing" period.

So symptoms.

-lower abdominal cramps (bilaterally)

-normally have migraines, but still have a mild headache

-tired, but have recently recovered from covid which could explain the headache and lethargy

- nauseous but I have been feeling run down lately anyways.

-No foul body odor, no vomiting, no breast soreness.

It all is a but confusing .

-to r/o pregnancy, have ordered a kit as I had been isolating, so will check that when it arrives, and have booked a telephone gp consultation.

But I definitely feel a bit nervous.

Any suggestions?
