Spotting! Answers needed!

[Hope2be2013]

Hi everyone! I've been laying low for a couple of months trying to get myself back to normal after stopped BCP late January. I ended up having a 72 day cycle which I ended with Provera. I am now on CD22 and I have been using OPKs for about 10 days. I don't use them like I should, because on some days I work 12 hours at a time so sometimes it's 24 hours between tests. They have all been negative. On CD20-CD21 I had consistent brown spotting! It required me to wear a liner (I have never had this before).

So I'm wondering what this could be? If it's ovulation spotting, why are my OPKs negative? Could I have missed my surge? Or what else could spotting mean??

Any opinions/advice is greatly appreciated!!!

didnt want to r&r, but i dont really have any advice. I always hear it takes time for your body to regulate after stopping BCP. It is possible to have a period without actually Oing. Hopefully you did! but maybe you are about to start your period and your body didnt actually release an egg?? i hope that helps a little bit. GL and keep us posted!!

Thank you for responding!! I thought maybe I was having a short cycle as well, but the spotting is completely over and it never turned red... Just light brown! It lasted about 24 hours. I feel like this is a good thing... I just don't know what it means!

I have no idea what it could mean :/ possible IB? are you going to test? im very intrigued to know what happens!! let us know!

I think I'll test in the morning just to see because I'm curious! My cycles are so unpredictable so I guess I could already be pregnant without realizing it. Or at least maybe I ovulated and missed my surge! I just have good feelings about it either way! I'll keep y'all posted!

Please let me know if anyone else has experienced this! All advice is greatly welcomed!

Hey, I have been off my BCP for a year now and finally got put on Procrea! And my cycle is 72 days & I don't ovulate! Soo... In two months I'll be put on Clomid! But the brownish red could be a build up from not having a period for so many months... Good luck!

It may be! But provera gave me a period about 3 weeks ago! Thanks for responding!
