Early period? Bleeding - worried

May just be being a bit weird, so apologies if you think I'm being crazy!

I'm 36 and been diagnosed with endo just under 3 years ago, had two laps to excise it, with the latest in July 2018. Not on any hormones, not planning or preventing, just seeing what happens naturally. Well nothing so far which is fine.

My cycles are spot on 29 days with ovulation at cd 14 The only endo symptoms I now have are around my period; cramping, bloating, back pain, exhausted, heavy periods, mood swings. I occasionally get spotting around my ovulation which is okay. But this cycle it's been a lot more right after, with occasional cramping but nothing too concerning, then started a full on bleeding Sunday, after what felt like a bit of spotting. Sorry if tmi, but this feels different; brighter red, more flowing if that makes sense, I have cramps like squeezing a stress ball feeling, and bloating. My period isn't due until Friday this week so not sure what this is.

I've had cervical ectropion before, but this doesn't feel like that either.

Help, any ideas? Endo coming back? Something irritated in my vagina? Can failed implantation happen? Will I still have my normal period? Should I go to the GP? Or just monitor and see what happens? I've never had a period 6 days early.

Hello I get periods early all the time and for months on end I bleed. My GP says it’s normal for my condition but it needs to be sorted as bleeding so much for that long causes other issues xx

I don't usually that's why I'm worried, mines clockwork, never changes. It used to be all over the place before my excision laps, hence why I'm worried.

Is this bleeding after ovulation?im thinking people with endo might bleed sometimes after ovulation as I passed a bit the other day and thought it was something to do with ovulation as I don’t think I’m ready for a period yet or could be you have just come early this month ? keep monitoring it .it might be just an odd month.you could try a pregnancy test if you are just going with the flow as you can bleed at beginning of pregnancy usually just after ovulation it’s implantation bleeding

It's a full on bleed, thought it was spotting as sometimes I get that, but it's like a week before my actual period is due and I'm always regular, like clockwork. It's about 8 days after predicted ovulation.

This looks like the bleeding when you have a cut, not normal period blood, if that makes sense.

Yeah I'll keep an eye on it.
