AF Acting Weird

in Trouble TTC
AF is due Sunday but I had blood last night. I'm never early or late more than a day. I wouldn't call it spotting since there was a good amount when I wiped. Not enough to show up on my underwear but I figured it would be there overnight so I put on a pad.
This morning no blood on my pad but a small amount of brownish blood when I wiped. I feel like it's too late in my cycle for implementation blood (though it doesn't keep me from hoping). I wish it would just come on so I can start the testing. Could it be the prenatal vitamins I'm taking throwing it off?

    I've always been regular but in the last 9months or so, I've had some wacky LPs!! One cycle, I started spotting at 7dpo and on that same day I had my progesterone drawn an it was in the 40s so that definitely wasn't the reason. That same cycle AF showed up with a vengeance at 9dpo. It really freaked me out but my RE wasn't concerned. Other cycles, I've had spotting as early as 9-10dpo and some no spotting at all, AF just showed up a little early. My cycles were medicated though. I highly doubt PNV would do anything to mess with your cycles. Most people have a few wonky cycles from time to time. I'm sorry but it's probably just AF starting to show her ugly face :(

    Edited to add: Do you know for sure when you ovulated? You might have ovulated earlier than you think. My pre-medicated cycles were generally around 27 days and then they started to shorten with no reason to 25-26 days. I was going through my initial testing phase at that time and had an US showing a mature follie 24mm on CD11! My doctor just said sometimes the body gets it ready a little earlier!

    Thanks for all your answers ladies. I guess my cycle is just wonky.
    Now that I think about it I'm not sure I ovulated. I thought I might have done the test wrong. Who knows.
    I guess I'll just wait for AF to officially show up so I can get all of this testing done.
    Thanks again

    Update. Yesterday AF finally showed around 7 at night. Is that cycle day one? Waiting for the doctor to call me back so I can get scheduled for my day three test.
