Subject: abnormal bleeding on cycle days 11,12... After 4-5 day period.
History:29 years old, never been pregnant. No meds besides adderall for ADHD. Very irregular cycle. Since I began tracking 2 years ago- shortest cycle @ 26days, longest @ 44 days. Before tracking, had long bouts of no period (maybe around 2 months, this happened no more than 3 times around the ages 18-20) one of which being either directly before or a few cycles before a cycle with abnormal bleeding in 2006. In this occurrence, my period was so heavy tampons and pads could not contain it. Was in fear of blood loss. Took oral contraceptive only long enough to regulate. Haven't had a problem since. Only been sexually active 2 years. Haven't seen a doctor since abnormal bleeding. Haven't had abnormal bleeding since, not even ovulation bleeding I have ever noticed. Haven't had sex without a condom. Took plan b one time last year after fear of condom leakage.

Current concern context: past 4 cycle lengths: 31, 30, 36, 27. This cycle- started period 7/30. Went as usual. Last two days of period are normally so light I barely notice/don't need to contain it, only notice on tp after urination. Same for this period- it 'ended' either 8/3 or 8/4. Had protected sex two consecutive days since then (can't remember exact days- Thursday at the earliest, most likely the 6th & 7th or 7th & 8th). Only other interesting note before abnormal bleeding is that since the 3rd/4th, I have been working a lot/eating little/sleeping pattern off(stayed up working until 4/5am the 6th & 7th). Was very stressed Monday night.
Abnormal bleeding noticed Tuesday morning (8/9) around 10am. Saw red blood similar to period with some dark clotting. Continued throughout day but tapered off with less clotting. End of day was pink like blush. Today (8/10)- nothing on tp after first pee. Second pee about an hour after being up and moving around had bleeding enough to mix with urination. Clotting then as well, but less dark/thick. Have seen blood on tp on all bathroom trips today. Again it is tapering off towards the end of the day, but less than yesterday- seeing red every trip including 30 min ago around 8:30 pm.

Question: Could my period have been paused by abrupt stress & lack of food/sleep the 3rd-8th? Is this leftover period? Could this be ovulation bleed(for the first time I've ever noticed)? Or worse yet... Could this be an implantation bleed? For the latter two, I know the timing is off/way off, and they are generally very light or pink/brown, but is it possible?
