I am a 28-year old woman who has an average cycle of about 29 days. My LMP was on 11/24/2008, and I thought I'd ovulated around the 7th based on CM, and my next period was supposed to come on or around 12/23/2008.
On 12/13 @ 11:00pm I noticed pinkish discharge when I wiped. At first I thought it might be implantation, because it was only there when I wiped, not enough for even a panty liner. On 12/16 I went to the gynecologist, he said I was ovulating because CM was stretchy. I told him my LMP and he ruled out ovulation and ordered hormone tests. My progesterone level was very low @ 0.2 ng/mL, so I thought it couldn't be pregnancy. The spotting, which ranged from pink to clear CM with red swirls, finally stopped completely on 12/23 (the day I was supposed to start my period). I've been having stretchy CM at times (very little though) and kind of white looking (sorry TMI!)
I don't have any pregnancy symptoms; last week I was urinating more than usual and this week I feel hungrier than usual (like hunger pangs every couple of hours) but I attribute that to maybe gaining a couple of pounds since I last weighed myself about a month or two ago. I don't really attribute it to pregnancy, because it's not the same feeling I had with my son.
But I still don't have my period today, and no signs of it (cramps, discomfort, nothing!). I thought maybe it was an early period, but it was spotting so I don't know if that's considered a light period or not; plus it was 10 days early & I remember having CM signs of ovulation. But I took ovulation tests last week (in case it was ovulation spotting) and this week (in case my cycle started over again) but they are negative. Took a pregnancy test last week and this week on Monday 12/22 and it was also negative. Basal body temperature was 97.84 (12/23), 96.98 (12/24), 97.25 (today) I've never charted before with BBT so I'm not sure what I'm doing, but from research it's not consistent with pregnancy or ovulation either.
Can someone shed some light? I know it's a lot to read and I'm sorry, I'm just very confused! I've take online pregnancy tests and some say I'd be 4 weeks others 5 weeks along, isn't this enough time to get a positive HPT? Or ovulation test (heard they were positive when you're pregnant also)? Or could it be something else? This is the first time ever this has happened to me, any other experiences like this? Thanks ladies.

I'd predict you had an annovulatory cycle, maybe just a delayed ovulation.
