Hi there and welcome.  It's really hard to tell when one precisely ovulates.  I had such a hard time with ovulation tests and reading them accurately.  I did track my cycle through my temperature which helped me know right AFER I ovulated.  Do you do that?  If you track it that way for a while, you'll see what your typical pattern of ovulation is.

I never had cramping or spotting with ovulation.  You do read that some women occasionally have this but I think it is much less common than the internet leads one to believe.

The best way to get pregnant is to start with cycle day one which is the first day of your period and begin counting.  Then on day 10, begin having sex EVERY OTHER day for the next 10 days.  This is a good way to catch ovulation and conceive.  

good luck

Hi there I took some ovulation test and dey came out positive for ovulation I counted 10days of first day of my cycle then I started to have sex every other day like you said according to the tests I ovulated on the 13 and 14 day and on day 15 I took a test and said I wasn't ovulating anymore so 2 days later I started cramping and with spotting which I never had dat issue before im a mother of one but I experienced cramping around 2 months pregnant im just concern that my hormones are going crazy since I just took the iud off I just hope I dont have any trouble conceiving
