Has anyone experienced spotting on cycle day 18, about 10 days after having an HSG?

I’m feeling a little confused and wondering if anyone has gone through something similar, because this is very unusual for me.

For context, I’m someone who usually has a very regular cycle. My periods are predictable, I typically ovulate around the same time each month, and I honestly never spot between periods. I also don’t usually have delayed ovulation or weird mid-cycle symptoms, so this feels out of the ordinary enough that I’m paying close attention.

I had an HSG done 10 days ago, and while I expected maybe some spotting or cramping immediately afterward (which I know can be normal), I wasn’t expecting to notice anything this much later into my cycle.

Now I’m on cycle day 18 and I’ve started spotting, which is unusual for me. It’s not a full flow, just spotting, but because this doesn’t normally happen in my cycles, it has me wondering what’s going on. Would love to hear if this has happened to anyone else or if I’m overthinking something that turned out to be totally normal.

Has this happened to anyone before? I got an HSG test done on cycle day 8, and I usually ovulate like clockwork around day 14 every month, so this feels really off for me. I’m currently on day 15 and still haven’t gotten a positive LH surge yet, which is starting to make me a little anxious and confused. I am noticing egg white cervical mucus (EWCM), so it seems like my body is trying to gear up to ovulate, but the surge just isn’t showing up on my tests. I’m wondering if the HSG could have delayed things this cycle or if anyone else has experienced something similar after having one done? Would love to hear your experiences or thoughts!! I am now stressed about it. Any insights would really help. Thank you
