Spotting during ovulation (no chance of pregnancy)

I'm on day 21 of my cycle that is usually around 32 days long. I noticed a tiny tiny bit of spotting. I'm pretty sure I ovulated last week although my cycle tracker says I am at a potential ovulation day. My last period cycle was 39 days so a little longer than the usual 32 days.

I have been quite stressed over the last month and particularly the last few days.

I'm not on any contraceptive pill or anything, the only medicine I take is I started taking mefenamic acid two cycles ago for period pain which seems to have shortened my period by a day or so.

I'm definitely not pregnant.

I vaguely remember spotting during ovulation maybe a year or two ago and it was just a one-off fluke. Do you think the same is the case now?

I'm not really sure what to do as Google ranges from it's normal to have flukes every now again to go and see your GP.

It's absolutely normal to have random things happen during different times of the month. I've also had ovulation spotting this month, on the day which my app thinks they ovulated, which lasted 48 hours, and really scared me! I don't normally have it, so I will just keep an eye on it, but I'm definitely not going to be going to the GP just yet. I will just see how you get on for the next couple of periods

Thank you! It seems to have stopped already so I think it is just a fluke. I checked my app and it thinks today is my ovulation day so that's probably what caused it.

I stressed solidly for the last two days and mine has also stopped!
