I'm currently on CD39 and don't know if I ovulated or not, though I've been having a LOT of post-ovulation/PMS symptoms for about a week and a half. I took an HPT on day 30 and it was negative. My question is, I had very, very light brown spotting on and off from days 19-23. If it were ovulation spotting, does ovulation usually occur during it or how shortly afterward does it usually happen? Could it occur even 5-7 days after spotting, or is that unusual? Of course I can't be certain if it was just random mid-cycle spotting, either; I don't normally have many cycles at all on my own. At first I thought I might have had an early ovulation and it was implantation, but I imagine an HPT would most likely have been positive by day 30 in that case...
