I am new to this, so sorry if I am doing this wrong!
This is my 2nd cycle trying, and this was my first cycle using OPKs. I typically have a 24 day cycle and this month I got EWCM on CD8 but did not get a positive OPK until CD11. Well, on CD15 I had cramping and dark/pink/brown spotting that I am still somewhat getting and I am on CD18. Anyone know what it could be? I have never had spotting like this.
Thank you! :-) I actually read this before but I guess I was still confused because a positive OPK means you usually ovulate 12-36 days after so I was confused as to why I am spotting so many days after. We had stopped BDing 2 days after my OPK so I'm hoping I didn't miss something.

Nope. OPK does not mean you ovulated. The only way to be sure of ovulation is by temping. Some ladies have multiple surges in one cycle and only O once.
There are hundreds of reasons for spotting including low lying cervix, irritation, uti, infections, cysts, no reason at all,impending af, etc. Ovulation and implementation spotting are low probabilities.

^ this. OPKs are not very good indicators of anything except that you should BD in case ovulation occurs shortly thereafter but it might not
