Spotting before AF

Hi...I am new to the board and I hope that someone can give me some advice. I have one child(19 month old) and would like to have another. Since having her, my periods have been exactly 28 days but I start to spot(brownish) around day 23 or 24 with nothing else until day 28. Has this happened to anyone else? Also, how do count the days for O? I am kinda worried that something else is wrong. Any advice would be appreciated!

Thanks, Melanie

Hi,I think you will be fine a lot of woman have this it is called break through bleeding and is ok and as for counting the days for o it is 14 days from the start of af(not spotting) so say af starts on the 1st you start counting from that day which your o day would be around the 14th try checking you cm and bbt these may help you figure out when you o
