I am so confused - I know I'm driving myself crazy

Hi guys -I've been gone from the board for a while. I was trying to not over think the TTC issues and drive myself crazy. But I am back since I am so confused about what's going on with me.
I came off Hormonal BCP 5-6 months ago. My usual cyscle since then has been 33-35 days.
Then last cycle was 24 days! Followed by a 10 day AF!!!
Anyway, got past that -onto this cycle.
I tested with an OPK every day from CD 7 even though AF was in town -i wasn't going to miss this again.
O'd on day cycle 24 which seems about right from the previous 'normal' data. BD'd after +ve OPK a few times.
2 days after +ve OPK my breasts were really tender. That coincides with the day fertility friend has as my O-day. That was odd -I'd never felt that before when I O'd or any other time. I don't usually have tender breasts -during AF or ovulation or ever.
Anwyay -here's what's happeing (sorry if TMI)
1DPO - there was some light pink staining when I wiped, heavy breasts
2DPO - more light pink staining -looked like pink CM, heavy feeling in breasts
3DPO - brown staining -a bit more than just when I wiped, heavy breasts
4DPO - red staining on underwear -very small amount (1-2 drops/day), heavy breasts for a couple hours.
5DPO - bright red staining on underwear -small amount.

I've never had spotting like this before AF. I've decided that with all this bleeding i'm probably not pregnant -and I'm not concerned about that yet. I AM concerned about all this spotting and stuff. I know it's too soon for implantation bleeding, but i'm trying to decide if I should be concerned.
Any thoughts would be appreciated.

Spotting like that can be implantation. When I was pregnant and I had intercourse once in a while I would spot like that. Any other symptoms of possible pregnancy? Tried an HPT? *fingers crossed for you!*

I thought implantation was 6-10 DPO.
The only other signs would be tender breasts -like i said -never had that before.
If I don't see AF by Wed or Thursday, I'll take a HPT.
When you spotted after BD -how many days did you spot?
Thanks for the finger crossing and input!!!

Well, implantation can cause spotting, but so can an ovarian cyst. When we were TTC my dd, I started having crazy irregular cycles and spotting. They did a sono and found cysts. They were small though and after one month of taking BCP in weird and unusual doses that my dr. prescribed, the cysts were gone and I was able to get back on track with TTC. So, you may want to call your OB-Gyn and let them know what is going on.

What CD are you on right now?

I tend to think that it is your body adjusting to not being on BCPs and spotting after BD is not uncommon.

I am on CD 29 today (Sunday) and it's been 6 months since I've been of Hormonal BC. I O'd on CD 23.


Cysts huh??? Hmmm -maybe I need to call the ole Doc. Did you have any of the other symptoms associated with cysts?

i had a very painful cyst when I concieved my daughter. I was very afraid of what was going on with my body with the horrible cramping pain, but I was told you get a little cyst every time you release an egg and they usually go away on their own.

All last week I'd been taking it easy on my workouts - trying not to overheat -it's been real frustrating for me to hold back like that -so today I went to the gym and pushed it hard, got some frustrations out and got a nice endorphin rush. So for now I'm doing OK. I also called my doc and I have an appointment next week, so I feel like I'm taking charge there.
Normally I call and talk to the nurse and say I think this is really weird and she says keep an eye on it, it could just be stress or post BCP adjusting -no need to come in or worry. So this time I just made an appointment. I know my doc thinks it's too soon to be doing all this tracking, and charting etc, but If I present her with 3 months of wierd data and she blows me off, I may be looking for a new doc - Dr. Graham is looking pretty good - although a bit far for me.
