Ovulation question

Hey. Im 31 and TTC #1. This is cycle #6. I did OPK on cycle 3 & 4, having high ovulation for 4 & 5 days then peak on CD16 & CD17. Im now on cycle 6. I had some spotting on CD 11 & 12. This hasnt happened before and i was taking a break for OPK but i thought i would check to see if it was ovulation bleeding. CD 14 & 15 blank. Since CD 16 i have had high ovulation but no peak yet.
My cycle length is anyway between 26 - 28 days. I would be grateful for any advice. Thankyou

I have no idea - but I have had the same for past 2 cycles - 2 days of spotting 3 days before peak opk... so not sure what is going on but I have had the same...

Its strange isnt it. I never have anything inbetween periods. Ive ovulated later than i normally would which now will probably mean a short luteal phase.

@JessB89
I've had something similar this cycle. This is my 2nd cycle since mc in late Nov so i put it down to hormones etc still being all over.
I had some spotting on cd 12,13, it was more blood mixed with cm then on cd14 i had my first very positive opk. The night after it was negative so i believe i experienced ovulation bleeding which I've never noticed before.

Are you wanting to know if yours could have been ovulation bleeding?

Im sorry to hear about your MC. Yes mine was similar to that also. I did wonder if it was ovulation bleeding, as i wasnt sure what else it could have been. My OPK didnt show high until 2 days after that and still havent had my peak.
Thanks for replying

Also i didnt know whether i will now have a short luteal phase which means less chance of concieving i believe?

Thinking about it, mine could be hormone related as I have an 8 month old. OP I wouldn’t worry too much about luteal phase - it could be that you have ovulated later than usual this month and your luteal phase would be the same - just a longer cycle! Have you taken any vitamins or anything, or changed diet or exercise? That can delay ov slightly x

Thankyou. Yes maybe yours is hormone related. My cycle was shorter last month at 26 days but i didnt do any OPK last month. My cycles are normally 28 days. Im taking vitamins yes i started taking a new one on my last cycle. Ive started to cut down on rubbish from my diet and trying to do somr workouts but havent done many. Typical its later as i was due for some initial blood tests end of the month but now my AF will be later so need to reschedule. X
