3 days of spotting... When should I test?

I know that we have all tried so hard for BFP and every time that there is any sign that it might be we have to go pee on a stick.  Every time I pee on a stick, I get AF a couple hours later.  I bought the OPK strips and they came with 10 HPTs.  I had an HSG last month and I was told that my one remaining tube was blocked.  I was sad about this so we didn't even try.  I know that we did BD many times over the past month, but I don't know when or if it was close to ovulation.  I am going back to the RE on May 21st for a consult on starting IVF.  I am supposed to start my BCPs when AF shows up.  

Now to today... I am spotting and I have been spotting for 3 days.  This is so weird for me.  It has never happened in the past.  I am driving myself crazy.  Other than the spotting I have no symptoms that AF is going to show up, but it is due to start today.  
I am 37 and DH is 40
10/2012 Start TTC
09/2013 Finally got to see the RE 12/2013 HSG-both tubes clear
01/2014 Large Cyst Removed along with right ovary and tube
04/2014 2nd HSG-Remaining tube damaged/blocked
05/2014 Testing cycle and BCP to prep for IVF
06/2014 IVF cycle #1 is scheduled cancelled due to low estrogen
07/2014 Started Estrace to help with my estrogen issues
08/2014 IVF cycle #2 is scheduled delayed
09/2014 IVF cycle #2 is scheduled failed- 6 follicles, 1 retrieved, 0 fertilized
10/2014 WTF scheduled for 10/22 and second opinion scheduled for 10/10
11/2014 Moving on to the new RE!  
01/2015 IVF cycle #3 is scheduled delayed
02/2015 IVF cycle #3 is scheduled

    I haven't POAS stick.  I know that implantation bleeding doesn't happen to most people.  The more I read, it isn't likely to BFP until 3-4 days after implantation.  The internet can be own worst enemy.  Luckily, I have you guys to knock some sense into me when I need it.

    I'm so sorry, I hate being in that crazy spotting place! Realistically, if you didn't track ovulation this month, you could easily still just be in your normal LP, if that helps a bit with the crazymaking.

    I tracked nothing this month.  When my RE told me that IVF was my only option, I stopped tracking everything.  Based off of previous cycles, I would guess that I am right about 13DPO. 

    @BunnyBerry  I have never been in the "crazy spotting place"  LOL.  Prior to surgery for to have a cyst removed, I was always between 23 and 25 days.  Since surgery, I have been all over the place.  Anywhere from 28-32 days.  I am just so confused.

    Truthfully, if it was me I would probably take a test. I find that if I just suck it up and get it over with I can move on faster instead of playing the mind games. Take a test once a week until AF shows up is what the TTC board suggests. Good luck with everything! :)

    Trying to have baby #1 since April 2013

    DH SA March,May 2014 - Low motility and shape issues. On vitamins per RE to help

    Me testing April 3, 2014 - FSH and LH good, HSG showed blocked right tube

    April 29, 2014 - First RE appt., right tube needs to be removed and possibly left also if

    it's bad too. RE suggests going straight to IVF

    June 4, 2014 - LAP/HSC and unexpected endo. removed but tubes got to stay!

    June 13, 2014 - Post-Op appointment. We decide where to go next since main issue

    is MFI influenced. Trying naturally until decision... Repeat SA  in September. Aiming for IUI #1 November 2014.
