I'm not a doctor but I do know that it can be completely normal to get ovulatory spotting, but if you get this it generally means that during the days of blood tinged cervical mucus, you ARE ovulating... though I understand that would contradict with your OPK results. Anyhow, I would 'baby dance' with the father-to-be on those days as under fertility awareness guidelines they would be highly fertile. Also, ovulatory spotting is supposively more common in longer cycles.
