Thanks guys for your comments! I really really really appreciate it. 
So my update:
I ended up not having time to go to the doctor because I am in the middle of midterm exams at school. But, I think I have stopped bleeding now, with only a little bit showing up when I wipe. I can't say for sure though, because it did seem like I bled more after sex and after removing my moon cup. So I guess I will have to ask my fiance to help me find out
Anyways, I'm not feeling so worried anymore, because I do think it is what you guys say, that it's just my cycle is out of whack, and it's probably a combination of Nuvaring and PM to blame, and also going pretty much straight from BO to PM (stupid, I know). I am pretty sure I was ovulating on BO even with my nuvaring, and once I immediately introduced a lot of estrogen AND decided not to do the withdrawal bleed week of nuvaring, my body got really confused.
However, what did throw me off about this was that the blood was really different from what I'm used to. At first it was like real blood gushing out of a wound type of blood, and then it became very mucus like with what looked like blood clots, and I've never seen that before. (sorry for being so graphic). This sort of mucus thing with blood clots is common in really early miscarriages too though, so that is also possible.
The reason I thought it was a withdrawal bleed from lowering my dose of fennel is because that is how birthcontrol withdrawal bleeds function (and I guess how a normal cycle kinda works too). When you remove a nuvaring, the hormone levels drop and this signals to the uterus to start bleeding, and I think it's specifically progesterone that is the hormone that drops and signals this.
Oh, and yesterday I got all the signs of a relapse in my UTI that I finished treating just a week ago.
So I'll have to go to the doctor on monday for that anyways, so I'll bring up the bleeding thing too. I get UTIs way too often. Luckily, the symptoms usually vanish after a few hours even if I still have it, so I don't have to walk around in complete agony.
On a brighter note, my boobs are looking much fuller now, because they were looking pretty deflated these past two weeks, I think as a result of my experimenting with way too high doses of phytoprogestins etc. Or my body is having a normal cycle without me knowing about it
I have not been noogling for the past week because I still have a guest staying here.
Again, thanks for all the comments guys. I will measure again soon, and update on my doctors appointment!
