Mittelschmerz is the pelvic pain that some women experience during ovulation. Ovulation generally occurs about midway between menstrual cycles; hence the term mittelschmerz, which comes from the German words for "middle" and "pain." The pain of mittelschmerz usually occurs in the lower abdomen and pelvis, either in the middle or to one side. The pain can range from a mild twinge to severe discomfort and usually lasts from minutes to hours. In some cases, a small amount of vaginal bleeding or discharge might occur. Some women experience nausea, especially if the pain is severe.

What does it mean that i think i had period the 27th of August and I'm sure i spotted the 8th of September yet i started bleeding the 27th of that September?
Sometimes ovulation will cause a slight amount of blood to be discharged. Normally termed "mittelschmertz", (mid-bleeding). It's normal, and is not a "period".
What are the symptoms of ovulation?
Thick cervical fluid discharge that is creamy or feels like eggwhite accompanies ovulation. The cervix becomes soft and open and sits higher in the vagina. Often women experience breast tenderness (softness, not soreness) and heightened sexuality. Mittelschmertz, if you get it and learn to recognize it, is a good tool to determine when ovulation has occurred. Mittelschmertz is pain that some women get when the ovary releases an egg. It is a sharp pain in your lower abdomen (near the hip bone) that is felt only on the left or right side. Not everyone gets it, and those who get it might not always get it so it cannot be used as birth control except as a way to determine that ovulation has already passed.
