Hello! I began taking birth control in October of last year, but due to constant headaches it was causing I I stopped taking it at the end of April. I went through my regular withdrawal bleeding, then towards mid-May I noticed an increase in discharge. The discharge slowly increased each day. It was a think white discharge which I have never experienced before (example below).

Within this past week the discharge began lessening.

Two days ago (June 9) I noticed some red when I wiped after using the bathroom (first picture). I figured this was the start of my period. By day two (June 10) I was still having the same amount of red when wiping (sometimes even none at all). And by day three (today, June 11), I woke up to no bleeding at all; However, after I used the bathroom and wiped after #2 I had a bunch of blood come out on the toilet paper (second picture) with what looks like a lot of stretchy mucus, but after that it’s like there’s no blood coming out onto a pad.

My period is typically the opposite. It will start out heavy and end light. Does this sound/look like a period to anyone else? I understand the pill can mess with your cycle a bit but I’ve never had a period like this one (so I apologize if I sound dumb).

I have also been having some minor cramping.

PS: I have been having unprotected sex. The most recent time was a week or so ago; However, I feel this is too heavy to be implantation bleeding (???). 🤷‍♀️🤷‍♀️

Thanks in advance!!

UPDATE: I took two pregnancy tests at the end of May (because the discharge concerned me a bit) and both were negative.
