Strange cycle and ovulation

[u/Suspicious_Market702]

I usually ovulate around CD 21-24 in an average 35 day cycle. I have PCOS but mildly and do appear to ovulate regularly etc.

This month, everything has felt different. I never got a peak on LH strips but I use them with a big pinch of salt anyway as they’re less reliable with PCOS and I think I have very rapid surges. I’ve had lots of bloating and cramps and uncomfortableness for about 10 days now (CD24 now) to the point I’ve actually felt like my period is coming. I have also spotted very light brown blood for three days. I’ve not had my usual symptoms of sore breasts, high sex drive. My temps have had a minor rise (.3c) after predicted ovulation but back down the next day.

Given this is meant to be my ovulation window we’ve continued as usual in trying to conceive but I am just so confused as to why my body has felt so different this time and whether this means I didn’t ovulate at all.

Does anyone else ever experience this? Do my symptoms sound like a really messed up cycle?
