If RED is new, and BROWN is old... what's this? Warning PIC

Hey ladies, cm/spotting question for you! I don't recall having spotting this color before. Usually, I get and orangey color before I start AF. I am about 3 days late for AF, but had a pretty crazy cycle. I could have possibly O'd late in my cycle which would put me at 11 DPO today, and I have a 16 day LP, so it would make sense that I'd be late.

I believe this is just AF starting up slowly. I've had the same dull AF type cramps since yesterday. When I wiped this morn, there was a little splurge of this stuff, and I figured AF would surly start, but I've had no more since this morning. Any thoughts?

Looks red to me?

Does it? Maybe it's just my eyes or the way I'm interpreting it. But I usually see either a dark, brick red, or a bright, nose-bleed red. This almost seems kind of purply. I will take it as my eyes bugging out and call it red then! Thanks!

Yep, I'd call it red, maybe a dark pink. Looks like it is mixed in with CM.

Ok, red is the winner!

That's what it usually looks like for me when my cycle starts. Sorry it wasn't better news

Haven't had any spotting since then. No real cramps either. I thought for sure it was AF comings but it was only that one time thing. Now I'm just still waiting... for SOMETHING to happen. I don't thnk I've ever spotted like that without AF showing up a couple hours later.
