Mystery Mattress Stains

CW: The image has some large unidentified stains that are most likely blood related, bed bugs, desperation

I apologize that this may be the wrong sub but I'm freaking out.

We recently found out we have a bed bug issue that we've been dealing with for almost 9 months. We had just washed our mattress cover and sheets a week ago (before we discovered the bed bugs) and the mattress did not look like this. My husband and I are trans but neither of us get periods, our dog and cat are house trained, our heads aren't level with any of these spots when we sleep so it isn't drool. We're at a loss and don't know what to do and are frankly horrified when we uncovered our mattress to see these stains.

Time frame:

Washed everything, last Tuesday.

Bed Bug discovery, Saturday night.

Bed Bug inspection, Today (Wednesday, May 20th)

EDIT: It can't be coming from us, that would've required it somehow getting through the mattress cover (which is fabric) without staining the cover itself. I think it's coming from inside upward.
