Okay so a little backstory first. I started my period June 28 and about a week later, right before it was over, my husband (military) went TDY for 18 days so we *thought* we missed our shot to conceive this month. Well I started spotting Sunday July 22nd on CD25 which is odd for me because 1) my cycles are usually 34-38 days long and start with heavy blood 2) obviously can’t be any type of implantation bleeding for reasons mentioned above 3) would be too late for ovulation bleeding right? Which brings me to the next thing. So hubby came home that Sunday I started spotting and we BD’d. The next day I was still spotting so I decided to take an ovulation test to try and test the “ovulation spotting” theory. This is what I got

Is this positive? Does LH rise before a period and am maybe just having a wonky cycle and AF is coming early and slowly? Has this happened to anyone and it was ovulation or maybe just an LH rise before a period? Any type of insight or input would be very much appreciated! We’ve been TTC for 8 months now with one CP in March so I’m simultaneously at the point where I stopped analyzing every little thing, and the point where I was so used to analyzing that even though I’m not trying to, it almost happens automatically

Anyways thanks for reading this far and I would appreciate any help!
