Seeing yellowish discharge towards the end of haidh

Q: I am dealing with a lot of confusion regarding haidh. My cycle usually lasts 7/8-ish days. It ends with brown or dark yellow discharge. 

On the 7th day I did ghusl as it appeared clear to me, however around midnight I saw brown discharge which was definitely haidh. So I waited again. I kept checking and when I saw clear discharge multiple times, I did ghusl again in the afternoon on the 8th day. 

Later on in the day after maghrib or isha I saw on my underwear there was yellowish discharge which appeared slightly dark. My normal discharge can be clear or light yellow. I decided to ignore it. However I’m really worried and I don’t know if I made the right decision. I fasted the next day and I’m worried that my fast didn’t count.

A: Since the yellow discharge was seen during your haidh period, you should regard it as haidh.

And Allah Ta'ala (الله تعالى) knows best.
