Confused Clomid round 3

Back story ... week prior I had been spotting on and off super light for 5-6 days . Then it turned to a heavier flow. I then started counting day 1 once the heavier flow started . Im currently on round 3 of clomid days 5-9 ... which I proceed to take on the day which I “thought “was day 5 . I’m currently on 8 days of this heavier flow with no ending in site . And tonight will be pill #4 clomid. Usually my cycle last 5-6 days I would be off at this point on clomid . I’m just worried maybe I started counting cd 1 too early and I wasn’t really on day 5 like I thought to take the clomid which could mess me up this round . I did skip a period January with clomid being unsuccessful which can explain why AF is being extra this month longer and heavier .???? Idk thoughts .
