Second cycle after CP- CD16: Failed to ovulate and spotting? Help! (sensitive images!)

Everything was on track until today. My BBT stays elevated and today is CD16. I expected to have LH surge but instead LH level has decreased a bit. I am not surprised about it because my body failed to attempt to ovulate for 3 times before I got LH surge last cycle after CP.
However I didn't expect to see a bit of fresh blood in the tissue when I wiped down there. So I inserted the tampon just to make sure it was real. It is indeed blood. I believe I am spotting.
I have never experienced it during mid cycle and I have checked everything about my body and my hormone levels which are all normal.
I don't know what is going on, please help!

You had high on cd21 and 22, the cd21 also looks like the test and control are equal so it could be a peak. That’s tricky, I would guess today is ovulation for you. I could be wrong and it could be tomorrow.

@LucyCL I missed this post.

So before today I would have said the peak day is the day before ovulation. However now I have no idea with my cramping. Online it says the peak happens ~ 24hrs before ovulation. Some says 24-36hrs but I think peak it’s ~24hrs. It says different in different places.I guess you have to be sure you caught your peak too at the right time, it could have happened hours before then so then ovulation comes sooner? That’s not specifically to you just a general comment, I wonder with mine sometimes.

My app is saying I’ve had my peak but the line isn’t as dark as the control like yours or like my previous times. So I’m unsure. Maybe it will rise to peak tomorrow or maybe I missed it.

@LucyCL how is it all going? Did you ovulate?

Today is the O day based on my apps. Or yesterday?
Do you treat the Peak day as the O day? or the day after the peak?😂

@LucyCL good luck and hopefully you will. It’s good that you are tracking bbt as well to confirm afterwards if ovulation occured.

Thank you! I will use BBT and LH strips to confirm ovulation. This spotting turned out to be a withdrawal bleeding caused by a sudden drop in all my hormones. Now I am waiting patiently for the LH level to go up again. At least no more spotting.

When I had a lh peak it was very strong, stronger than the control line. Did you have that in your first cycle? If so I would guess that you haven’t ovulated yet but I could be wrong.

For the post CP cycle, I did get a LH peak when the line was much stronger than the control line so this new cycle I don't think I have ovulated yet. I was expecting to get the LH surge but instead it dropped a bit. My BBT stayed the same though. I wonder if I will get a peak soon.

@LucyCL hi, firstly sorry about your loss❤️‍🩹
Could this possibly be ovulation bleeding? It’s not something I’ve experienced but I’ve heard about it.
Sending you lots of luck. X

My CB fertility monitor still says "High" and my LH level dropped but not that much.

One more thing - last night when I inserted OvuSense inside, I felt slippery and wet.
