    That's the problem. . . Long story as short as possible. . .
    I had to get a corticosteroid shot on cycle day 5 (the last day of my period) just before mid November. Well on day 13 of my cycle I started heavy spotting(mostly brown) every day for the next 16 days. I spoke with my OB and we agreed it's because of the shot. Basically I stopped spotting, for good it seems, yesterday. I tested randomly a few days ago and it was a definite negative. I have no idea where I am at in my cycle. I'm guessing everything is pretty screwed up and I'm not sure I even have a uterus lining to hold a fertilized egg at this point.
    I'll test over next couple of days though. I want to figure out where I may be in my cycle. I'd like to get back to ttc asap!

    Oh how frustrating! I once tried to take the pill continuously so I wouldn't get AF and I just bled lightly for 2 weeks straight until I stopped taking it. Some of us respond poorly to synthetic hormones. Since you just stopped spotting, I wouldn't expect you to O for another couple weeks, though anything is possible. That OPK is dark but definitely negative, and even in normal cycles it's common to get dark OPKs just after AF/1-2 weeks before O. I'd keep testing but don't be surprised if you see your OPKs fade out before darkening again later when you get a true positive.

    My Ovulation Chart
    currently TTC, Cycle #16 since last BFP

    TTC #1 - swaying pink on & off since Nov 2013 - hoping for a girl first but excited for either!

    Dec 2001 - May 2006 : 5 early abortions of healthy singletons (3 medical @5w, 2 surgical @8w, last 4 pregnancies conceived with late DH, all conceived while TTA/on birth control)
    Mar 2012: miscarried B/G twins @5w (conceived 2 cycles after remověng Paraguard copper IUD while NTNP), one twin was ovarian ectopic

    Me: 34, widowed, late O + short LP, normal-good hormone levels excepting undetectable testosterone, seeking a known sperm donor/life partner
    My sway: vegetarian LE for over 28w, skipping breakfast, fibre (ground psyllium husks) with/before/between meals, physically inactive, drama avoidance, ocassional minimal YesBaby lube as needed, alternate cycles on low dose Clomid, double shot lattes (with meals)
    Past sway tactics I've dropped (in order): Vitex, Sudafed, antihistamines, intermittent fasting, one attempt per cycle at positive OPK, one attempt in fertile period

    i say neg for now but hopefully soon.

    You can have attempt before test gets truly positive, that's ok.

    You can actually be building lining even as old lining is still shedding, I know it's hard to believe but it grows from inside out so it can be growing anew while the old stuff is sloughing.
