Can someone tell me what's going on??

Hi, so this posting on online forums thing is totally foreign to me.. but I was wondering if anyone can tell me whats up. Okay so, I have only been on the combination birth control pill sense February. DH and I were married in mid-March. In April, we decided we were moving halfway across the country. It was a stressful and exciting time..emphasis on stressful! haha. During the month of May, I missed quite a few pills but would make them up the next day. Toward the end of May, I lost my birth control packet and in all of the crazyness of packing and traveling around and saying goodbye to friends and family, I just didn't get anymore. So I did not take any birth control after about May 11. (I'm sure Dh and I had sex around this time but I don't know which dates). I then had what I thought was my period, starting on May 22 and ending on the 26th. Moving day was the 28th of June. DH and I had sex on May 31. Then, on June 1, I began having spotting. It was dark red/black blood, which I have read is "old blood". There was a tiny bit of "new blood?" mixed in toward the end, but mostly just dark red/black/brown. This lasted three days. (Somewhere in this time, I slightly remember a small amount of EWCM but not sure which day.) We then had sex on June 4 and 6. Starting June 8, I started having stomach pains, minor constipation, and felt very bloated and gassy. My breasts also started feeling tingly and sensitive, but not sore. I have not been able to shake these abdominal pains/cramps/bloating since. Then to make things more confusing, yesterday I went to the toilet and when I wiped there was a HUGE amount of slightly cloudy, very stretchy and thick cm. On the paper there was a slight yellow color, but mostly white cloudy. I have had ewcm before but I've never had anything like this.. and it just kept coming out..sorry tmi? Anyway, I had a little more this morning but now it is gone. Now I just have watery cm that feels like af has come but every time I check it's just clear cm. And I've also got minor back pains now that feel like my af pains but less intense.
I know this is long! But I'm just confused because I do not know when my period is actually due, since I stopped the pill in the middle of a pack and then haven't taken any since.. If anyone has been in this situation before and has any insight I would greatly, greatly appreciate a comment! DH and I are not ttc but obviously, we haven't done a very great job of preventing it lately either. Could this just be ovulation?? If so, this is way more painful/annoying than any ovulation I've had in the past. UGH. Any and all insight will help. Thanks!!! (Ps. hope I got all the abbreviations right.. I googled a list! lol)

Depends on what's a normal period for you. It could've been a withdrawal bleed on the week of May 22-26. Withdrawal bleeds can mimic a period. As far as the spotting it could be either more withdrawal bleed or ovulation. I would track the next few cycles to see what's a normal period for you. It's honestly hard to tell unless you know for sure what a normal period is for you while off BCP.

Thanks Angel022605 for replying. I'm pretty sure May 22-26 was my period. I had the normal terrible first day of period back-ache that I get. In that case I would have ovulated around the 5-6 of June..which means I could very well be pregnant now. Oh man.. I will definitely keep better track next time if af shows this time. Again, thanks for your response!
