The days of blood, yellowness, and turbidity exceed fifteen days, and the period of purity is less than thirteen days. Based on this, you are experiencing Istihada (prolonged non-menstrual bleeding).
If you have a previous customary period, observe it as your menses, and whatever exceeds it is Istihada. If you do not have a customary period, then act according to discrimination (tamyezz): observe the period of known red blood as menses, and anything else is Istihada, for which you perform (ritual bath) and pray.
