Help! Should I cancel delivery for tomorrow?

Hi. I am set to have my swimmers shipped out tomorrow!
This cycle. I am on no fertility meds (clomid, etc.). and have not taken any for about 5 months or so.
PROBLEM.... Today, cd 8, I am spotting.. around 7 am it was reddish/pink (sorry tmi)... and then now around noon it is brown. I also have some "crampy" type feelings in uterus area, and at times near the left ovary (around 7am) and now (noon) around rt ovary.
Yesterday, cd 7, I had no spotting but had a crampy type feeling in the vagina/ uterus....
What the heck is going on ???
The only thing I did different this month was take one baby aspirin since cd 1. I have done this other months but not recently.
Here is my fertility friend chart. My temps dropped a lot yesterday and today were low too. Could the extra low temps cause this?
My Ovulation Chart
Should I just skip this cycle and not have the swimmers shipped tomorrow? I really hate to do that b/c I have been on a break for several months and was real excited to try this month, but I don't want to waste money on shipping and swimmers if this is going to be a wonky cycle.
Sidenote- I have been semi sick for the past 3 or 4 days.

Yes, I could have them shipped today, I think...they'd be here tomorrow. But, I have never ovulated this early.... Today is only cd 8 for me. and the earliest I have ever ovulated was cd 13, and I have been tracking my temps/ opks for a year now.
Are you thinking it is ovulation?....
........................... Trying again soon ..................................
But, if my temp is still low,, hovering around 97.0, I don't know what I will do.. I really don't want to waste the shipping money.... haven't won the lottery yet ya know...
This just stinks...b/c last month, when I wasn't trying, my cycle was perfect.
Maybe stress too, since my ex boyfriend is coming around again.... this past Sunday, and yesterday....maybe he caused it.....lol...(stress)
........................... Trying again soon ..................................
Yes, stress really can affect cycles... I know. I was just so excited to try again this month since I have been on a ttc break for several months (feels like several YEARS)

EDD 12/13/2013
It's identical TWINS! They're GIRLS!

My thoughts-
1) if the ex boyfriend and you had sex, it is possible to be bleeding from that. (But perhaps less likely since that was this weekend?) and you don't have to say whether you were or not - this is just a thought.
2) is it a fair amount - not a lot - but more than a drop or two? Could it be a polyp that popped? I hear those can cause a spot of bleeding, but usually aren't a big deal. I know you've been doing a bunch of things, but did you ever do a HSG or sono u/s? That would check for polyps.
Likely though, I'd just chalk it up to some weird bleeding that doesn't mean much - especially if it was a tiny amount or doesn't happen again.
If your temp is still low, I say go for the shipment tomorrow.
Hey! Did you try any natural fertility enhanced this month? I tried pregnitude one month and went from ovulating around CD 16 to ovulating on CD 11 with a HUGE follicle.... Also, I got a smiley that month but the lines were wonky and not what I usually got -- cause I read em too.
Good luck with whatever you decide!

I never had an hsg. I did have a transvag ultrasound about 6 months ago, and there was no mention of polyps...
I am just wondering if it was maybe even from the big temp drop the last two days, which would indicate changing hormone levels....?
I still have brown spotting now... it is enough for a pantyliner.....
Uhhhh....
I did have something similar in Sept.... but it was on cd 13, 14, 15, 16 but according to my temps I did still ovulate that month (got smiley on cd 19and O on cd 21). ALTHOUGH that same month I did get a first smiley on cd 8! BUT, when I did a second smiley test with the SAME urine, that second one was negative...and cm was creamy (tmi) with a medium height.. not high cervix....so maybe a faulty smiley...?
So I am wondering if this month will be a repeat of that month....
Could the temp drop of .4 degrees from 97.4 to 97.0 have caused this.... thus reflecting a hormonal change, and hormonal cause of the spotting....?

TTC No. 2 since Aug. 2014; IVF #1 - Cxld; IVF #2 - BFN
One month, my metal speculum-unbeknownst to me-had a tiny groove mark in it, and while doing my own cervical exam, I managed to scrape/cut my vaginal wall (at the time I didn't feel anything and didn't notice until the blood later on, making me think I was potentially ovulating.)
So, my opinion, since you still don't have a +OPK and your cervix is still low, go ahead and keep the delivery.
As per the hormone levels causing the spotting/temp dip, I don't think so. In your LP a drop in temperature and spotting can indicate a drop in progesterone. During the follicular phase, on the other hand, there's not really any hormones dropping that would cause spotting. Your hormones can cause fluctuations in your temp though.
I'm with the others, unless you get some huge jump tomorrow - I say this cycle is still a go.

But, I still don't get why I also had cramps.... actually the cramps started on 1/9 (slight cramps in vagina/ uterus area).... then today 1/10 the cramps were in the uterus area then near left ovary then near right ovary then back near uterus....and towards the end they kind of felt like very Mild af cramps.
As of 8pm, looks like spotting is done....
SO weird... I have never had these weird cramps at this point in my cycle.....I don't get it. I will do another smiley tonight just to see.... then I have to call tomorrow to tell them to ship or not to ship.... by noonish..
Thanks everyone for your help so far...
