CD32, negative test, but CD28 scan showed post-ovulation lining—timing off?
My cycles are usually 32 days, but recently got irregular due to starting&stopping letrozole, and my gyno said March was kind of a “reset” cycle. My last cycle was on March 5th.
- Last week: I started having unusual navel-area cramping/movements → saw a gastro bc at some point the feeling was very scary and they referred me to a gyno too.
- CD28: ultrasound showed 15.1 mm homogeneous/decidualized lining, doctor said I already ovulated and it looked very good.. like never before & like a "potential early pregnancy"
- Today: CD32, no period, home test negative
Symptoms - & I know these are/might be PMS but just in case:
- Cramping across abdomen (including navel, which is new for me)
- Lower back pain
- Nausea, low appetite
- Breast sensitivity
- I keep getting full with light snacks but am still hungry
- One episode of light pink spotting after intercourse
What I’m confused about:
- If I already ovulated before CD28, shouldn’t my period be here by now?
- Could this still be too early for a positive test?
PS: I’ve tried to read up on irregular cycles and ovulation/luteal phase timing, but I’m still a bit confused 😅
