Does Ovulation Spotting Indicate Ovulation?

I spotted yesterday for a couple hours. I think I ovulated. I've been actively trying to get pregnant. my period is due the 26 is there a good chance that I could get pregnant? Also when you experince spotting does that mean your about to ovulate or your ovulating at the moment?

Hi,
I understand your query.
Ovulation is 14 days prior to expected day of periods So your ovulation was around 12th of this month.
Light spotting is observed while ovulation( release of mature ovum from ovary) is taking place.
After leaving ovary ovum is live for 12-36 hours. & sperms can be alive in female genitals for maximum 3 days. So if you are trying for conception , You should have sex from 3 days prior to ovulation to 2 days after ovulation.( at least on alternate days)
Thanks
