This has been the cycle from heck

A little background over the past month and then some:

I ran out of ovulation tests waiting to O but Fertility Friend picked up my O date on CD29 (12/14). My temps stayed relatively low all month, but high enough to indicate that I probably did O. I have an 8-10 day LP (have since I started charting) and this month I got to CD43 (or 14dpo) before I started experiencing spotting. It was brown spotting for 2 days (giving me a 16 day LP this month), then on 12/30 I started getting globs of EWCM streaked with very dark red. I had marked it as light flow indicating my next cycle had started, but it never became more than a wipe and a few drops on a pantyliner. It was more mucus than flow. Yesterday was the dame thing. A little more blood, but still no more than a few drops on a pantyliner through the whole day. I woke up this morning to nothing but a huge glob of mucus streaked with a little brown.

So my first question is, do I mark the 30th and 31st as spotting? My next question is, is it possible that this is implantation bleeding? I don't remember what it was like with DS. If it lasted a few days, or what. All I remember is brown spotting, which isn't helpful right now lol. Also, is it possible the spotting means I had an anovulatory cycle this month? So, if anyone has any input, it's greatly appreciated!

Here's a link to the charts. Not sure if I should change the 2 days of light flow to spotting though: http://www.fertilityfriend.com/home/3d3eae

I'd test, if I have any question, I TEST and test again and again...

Can you link your chart so I can have a visual?

Sounds like you could test and see...possible!

Sounds like spotting...implantation bleeding maybe as I had this time but no other preg.

Looks like you did not ovulate to me. You had no thermal shift. Are you on FAM settings? Looks like you might be on CM.

That's what I was afraid of. I think I had placed it on FAM settings, but it didn't change when I was playing with the settings. Oh well. Can I count the spotting as a new cycle?
