Ovulation Help

Really need some help as I'm sick with worry.

I had my last period in March and got peak ovulation on May 7th we DTD on 7th and 8th of May. After the static smiley face disappeared from the holder I started to test again, I had 2 days of low and 2 days of high, then on Friday 13th I got another peak, we DTD that night only as Saturday we were both tired.*
TMI* this evening as I've gone to the loo, I've wiped and there has been light pink/red blood, is it common to have a period straight after ovulation?

The first ovulation I didn't get a lot of ewcm which made me test again and on the second ovulation I was getting more ewcm.

@BillyBobBilly With you having 2 surges it's impossible to say if you even ovulated. Your last period was in March but you "might" have ovulated in May?? That's a long cycle OP and hard to track.

The only way to confirm ovulation is by temping everyday throughout your cycle (also getting progesterone levels checked after you believe you've ovulated, or a scan of the ovaries...)

OPKs don't tell you that you have ovulate or even will definitely ovulate! They just detect the LH surge which usually precedes ovulation, although not always.

@Regenbogen22 thanks for your reply. Even if I had some ewcm does that still mean I might have not ovulated? I think I might start to temp from now on to back up the opk, is there a app/thermometer that u suggest and when do I start it from please? X

Start whenever you like, you can get basal body Thermometers off Amazon for not.much money. Just important that they go to 2 decimal places. Google for BBT/temping or search threads on here for more info on how to do it! Important that it's exactly the same time every day and before you even get out of bed!

@BillyBobBilly forgot to say, the Fertility Friend app is great and gives clear graphs. The interface isn't super stylish but it has many functions.
