how to count cycle days when have spotting

Hi
Looking for some advice re cycle tracking please as I'm confused. Have had 3 pregnancies in the past, but never focused too much attention to tracking or ovulation dates as conceived within a few months each time, so i'm new to this!

Cycle ranges from 25-29 days, but most of the time is 28. My dates last month were:
3rd Nov: got period = CD1, so was expecting period 1st December.
27th & 28th Nov had small amount of brown blood, nothing on 29th/30th, then what I would consider a proper period for two days on 1st & 2nd Dec.
Fast forward to this week and I had lots of EWCM on 10th & 11th Dec- pretty sure ovulation has happened as no CM today. So if I count 1st Dec as CD1, that would mean I ovulated day 10/11- which seems very early. Is it more likely the spotting I had on 27th/28th Nov was CD1?
Just trying to figure out pattern so I can manage expectations for 2WW and testing !

Note I have had this pattern of 2 days spotting before and my period is usually fairly light, so hard to tell.
Also with my last pregnancy we BD on day 8 and day 19, so my ovulation that month was either early or late (I'm sure on those dates as we we're on holiday).
Thanks for any wisdom!
