Spotting after ovulation

Amelia

I am having very light spotting about 24-36 hours after ovulation. Is it normal to spot afterwards? This is the second month this has happened. I'm pretty sure I ovulated Wednesday because I got a solid smiley face Tuesday night and had some cramping on Wednesday. I know it is normal to spot before and during ovulation, but what about afterwards? Thanks! I'm trying to understand my cycle better.
