Spotting around ovulation - could it be period?

Wondering if anyone else has experienced this!
I'm on day 14 of my cycle and have been using OPKs since day 9 as I usually ovulate around day 11 of the cycle. I had positive OPKs on cycle days 11 & 12 and think the surge was in the afternoon of the day 11 so assume I ovulated on day 12 or 13...however I started spotting yesterday! I noticed pink/red blood on toilet paper and also there was a fair amount of it after intercourse. I've also got cramps and that feeling of when AF is brewing...
Is it possible to ovulate and AF to appear almost immediately afterwards? Or if it was an anovulatory cycle would that explain it? Has anyone ever experienced similar...I'm not sure it would be ovulation bleeding as never had it before!
Thank you!

I once had brown discharge for 3 days around predicted ovulation and then ovulated a whole week late. Period came as normal 2 weeks after ovulation.
